One day jimmy left Jamaica
But he never could work it out
Life is so hard inna London town
When you 're comin' from trenchtown
Jimmy 's got the blues
Jimmy 's got the blues
Jimmy is inna bad mood
When you take them children for fool
City get burned like dry wood

Jamaican inna london
Jamaican inna london
So much years in the ghetto
Jamaican inna london
Jamaican inna london
Let them grow

Mama is crying for little Jim
Stolen from home
cnd brought to Babylon
Mama has done so much for him
Now he's running in the street with a gun
Jimmy 's got the blues
Jimmy 's got the blues
Jimmy is inna bad mood
When you take the children for fool
City get burned like dry wood

Jamaican inna london
Jamaican inna london
So much years in the ghetto
Jamaican inna london
Jamaican inna london
Let them grow
