MONTEGO BAY
(Hank Cochran - Glenn Martin)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I showed her most of Tennessee that's all I could afford
I even thought of stealing so I could show her more
But she never did seem happy and I often heard her say
Hey I like it here but I love Montego Bay
Oh I should have gone with her at least I wouldn't know
What about Montego Bay that makes it pull so strong
All I've got's old mem'ries of the way she used to say
Hey I like it here but I love Montego Bay
Why couldn't I convince her why couldn't I make her see
There's no way Montego Bay needs her more than me
When she left she seemed so happy I can still hear her say
Hey I like it here but I love Montego Bay
Why couldn't I convince her...

Chorus: The black the yellow the green,
From Montego bay all the way back to the bean,
Representing the black the yellow the green,
From Montego bay all the way back to the bean,
What you mean?
We (go Kingston to Ceview, Ocho Rios I see you,
Then Newton to Brockton,
Randolph back to Boston)2x
1 verse: let me rap bout the place I was born at gyal(girl),
We pay no mine to your boring style, sip on wine every morning child
As the sun comes up on this morning isle,
Bullets fly high on the side of the ghetto,
Still every house is surrounded by meadows,
And though every person don't ride in a limo,
We still got pride and that's something that they know,
Of course they mad, cause we gon' ball
And we stay flowing like duns river fall
And we know how to throw down,
Girls wanna go down,
Go go speed up, don't ever slow down,
Woah now, boy gwan(go and) hate,
We don't date,
I don't need to please you,
I don't even need you,
Haters so blurry man I don't even see you,
First hate on you then they try to be you,
Tryna say whagwan(what' going on) but your so see through,
Tell these girls come on,
I'm just tryna lead you to the best spot,
You've ever been to, hottest out here,
But we been cool, hometown so great,
Breakthrough can't hold down these gates,
So fruitful like a gallon of V8,
And we stay true to the flag we paint,
Uh uh
Chorus: The black the yellow the green,
From Montego bay all the way back to the bean,
Representing the black the yellow the green,
From Montego bay all the way back to the bean,
What you mean?
We (go Kingston to Ceview, Ocho Rios I see you,
Then Newton to Brockton,
Randolph back to Boston)2x
2 verse: home of the dancehall dancers,
Ganja we stand tall,
Bob Marley and Sean Paul Movado,
We all ball,
Staying cool up in the heat,
Hundred dogs up in the streets,
Curry goat I'm down to eat,
Don't need your vote just hold your peace,
From the Latham's to the Wilson's
To the Bent fam we killing
The competition,
No other place you would rather live in,
Lavish in it,
But on one side the shots go up,
On the other side you up in resorts,
Resorts in you not knowing what goes down
When the cops come round
We taking no shorts,
Wear no shirts to hot for that,
Tank tops all good don't stop with that,
Party at 9 we walk to that,
And the broads so thick let me hop on that,
Hometown so great,
Breakthrough can't hold down these gates,
So fruitful like a gallon of V8,
And we stay true to the flag we paint,
Uh uh
Chorus: The black the yellow the green,
From Montego bay all the way back to the bean,
Representing the black the yellow the green,
From Montego bay all the way back to the bean,
What you mean?
We (go Kingston to Ceview, Ocho Rios I see you,
Then Newton to Brockton,

My baby will meet me when the Lear jet lands
Keys to the MG will be in her hands
Some reggae on the radio and we’re on our way
I’ve got to get back to my Montego Bay
Sing out
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Come sing it louder
Come sing it Montego Bay
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
My lady will meet me like a lover should
I think I remember but it’s twice as good
Cool, is the rum from her silver tray
I thirst to be thirsty in Montego Bay
Montego Bay
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Come sing it louder
Come sing it Montego Bay
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah
They’re dancin’ in the streets
Cool runnings man
Oh ..
Lay on the ocean till we’re lobster red
I still feel the motion here it home in bed
I tell you it’s hard for me to stay away
You ain’t been till you’ve been high Montego Bay
Sing it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Come sing it louder
Come sing it Montego Bay
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh Montego Bay
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
