[Verse 1]
D G
I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say?
A D
My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay.
D G
It's not that I'm not interested, you see;
A D
Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be.
[Chorus]
D G
*I think Jamaican in the moonlight.
A D
Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night.
D G
We got no money, mama, but we can go;
A D
We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove.
[Verse 2]
D G
Keep on talking, mama, I can't hear.
A D
Your voice, it tickles down in side of my ear.
D G
I feel a tropical vacation this year,
A D
Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear.
[Chorus]
(*)
D G
**Voila! An American Dream.
A D
Well, we can travel girl, without any means.
D G
When it's as easy as closing your eyes
A D
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign.

Just keep talking, mama, I like that sound.

It goes so easy with that rain falling down.

Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear.
