- African Jamaican Lyrics / with translationsI am a African Jamaican
Just spending some time in foreign land

Just spending some time in foreign land
When I return to my home, I saw this big big sign sign
say,
"Nothing to Declare"
When I return to my home, I saw this big big sign sign
say,
"Nothing to Declare"
I walked over to this woman, she said "Sir go down
there",
Miss I got nothing to declare
I walked over to this woman, she said "Sir go down

Miss I got nothing to declare
So I went down there, all these men were there
Sir I got nothing to declare

Them chek I in, them check I out No ammunition, No
appliance, Nothing to declare
I want to know, if I did the wrong thing
I want to know, if I did the wrong thing
I only decided to come home
People come and people go
Them carry what they want to carry
People come and people go
