- Jamaica Farewell Lyrics / with translationsOh, Lord, it is not easy
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
Oh, Lord, look the little young generation
Baby, mothers them want
The landlords them want
Mother and father of the get girl
The little I get make me fat
It is not easy
Really not easy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is not easy
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
Oh, Lord, look the little young generation
I work and I toil
Yet I suffer all the while
Trying to live a life on my own
I don't want to end up like Al Capone
It is not easy
Really not easy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is not easy
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more

Mother and father of the get girl
The little I get make me fat
It is not easy
Really not easy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is not easy
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
Oh, Lord, look the little young generation
I work and I toil
Trying to live a life on my own

It is not easy
Really not easy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is not easy
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
