Irish Reggae Band
In the land of sun and music
Where the rum is close at hand
Oh they sing and dance and they find romance
To the Irish reggae band
We come form Paddy's green island
Where the dear little shamrock grows
We've come to this tropical diamond
Where the Marley music flows
Both our islands thrive on music
With a joy you can't conceal
The songs of the mighty sparrow
And the Irish jigs and reels
In the land of sun and music
Where the rum is close at hand
Oh they sing and dance and they find romance
To the Irish reggae band
We sing of buffalo soldiers
And leaving Derry's quay
Of sailor men and colleens
And we sing Montego Bay
With the flute, guitar and banjo
The fiddle and steel drums
The bodhran and the shakers mon
Oh they make the music hum
In the land of sun and music
Where the rum is close at hand
Oh they sing and dance and they find romance
To the Irish reggae band
From Dublin down to Kingston
From Nine-mile to Donegal
They come from every part of the island
And we play for one and all
We're seeking fun and laughter
On this warm Jamaican night
No politics no religion
There's no time to fuss and fight
In the land of sun and music
Where the rum is close at hand
Oh they sing and dance and they find romance
To the Irish reggae band
