Lyrics
Beautiful Day
I’m gonna go back home on the 1st of May
What a beautiful day
John will be at my side on my Aeroplane ride
First stop Montego Bay
Friends will meet me there
Hope mum will be there
To take me back to my home
Yeah
So on the 1st of May
That will be a happy day to see Jamaica again
I’m gonna have some fun drinking lots of rum
What a beautiful day
Give me some rice and peas
Make me feel at ease
What a beautiful day
Friends will meet me there
Hope mum will be there
To take me back to my home
So on the 1st of May
That will be a happy day to see Jamaica again
Friends will meet me there
Hope mum will be there
To take me back to my home
So on the 1st of May
That will be a happy day to see Jamaica again
