Well, he looked down at my silver chain.
He said:' I'll give you one dollar.
I said: You've got to be jokin' , man,
It was a present from me mother'


He said:' I like it
          I want it
          I'll take it off your hands,

And you'll be sorry you crossed me
you better understand
That you're alone
a long way from home)


I say, I don't like Reggae, oh no, I love it
I don't like Reggae, oh no , I love it
Don't you cramp me style
Don't you queer on me pitch
Don't you walk thru my words
'Cause you ain't heard me out yet

I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said I've got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it
And wallow in a Dreadlock Holiday

And I say
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Don't you walk thru her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru her words
'Cause you ain't heard her out yet

I don't like cricket
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
I don't like reggae
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
Don't like Jamaica
I love her (Dreadlock Holiday)
