Lyrics Bob Marley & The Wailers

Bob Marley & The Wailers

Smile Jamaica

Feeling out, feeling down

This feeling wouldn't leave me alone

Then up came-a one that said (hey, Dread)

"Hey, Dread, dry, Natty Dread, and smile!"

You're in Jamaica: c'mon and smile!

(In Jamaica, y'all) Get it together, y'all!

(In Jamaica) Get it together, now!

In Jamaica, y'all

Soulful down, soulful people

Said, I see you're having fun,

Dancin' to the reggae rhythm,

O island in the sun

O smile!

(In Jamaica) c'mon and smile!

(In Jamaica, y'all) Get it together, right now!

(In Jamaica) Get it together, children!

(In Jamaica, y'all)

We're gonna help our people, help them right

O Lord, help us tonight!

Cast away that evil spell

Throw some water in the well,

And smile!

(In Jamaica) c'mon and smile!

(In Jamaica, y'all) Get things together, right now!

(In Jamaica) Get it together, right now!

(In Jamaica, y'all)

Riddim wise (wise),

Dub-a wise (wise),

And other wise (wise)

Can't criticize (wise) our smile.

(In Jamaica) You're gonna smile!

(In Jamaica, y'all) Get it together, right now!

(In Jamaica) Get things together, right yow!

(In Jamaica, y'all)

Help the people, help them right!

O Lord, help us tonight!

Cast away evil spell

Throw some water in the well,

And smile!

(In Jamaica) You're gonna smile!

(In Jamaica, y'all) Get it together, children!

(In Jamaica) Get things together, right yow!

(In Jamaica, y'all)

Soulful down, soulful people,

Said, I know - I know that you're having fun!
