Irish Reggae Band Lyrics

In the land of sun and music

Where the rum is close at hand

Oh they sing and dance and they find romance

To the Irish reggae band

We come form Paddy's green island

Where the dear little shamrock grows

We've come to this tropical diamond

Where the Marley music flows

Both our islands thrive on music

With a joy you can't conceal

The songs of the mighty sparrow

And the Irish jigs and reels

In the land of sun and music

Where the rum is close at hand

Oh they sing and dance and they find romance

To the Irish reggae band

We sing of buffalo soldiers

And leaving Derry's quay

Of sailor men and colleens

And we sing Montego Bay

With the flute, guitar and banjo

The fiddle and steel drums

The bodhran and the shakers mon

Oh they make the music hum

In the land of sun and music

Where the rum is close at hand

Oh they sing and dance and they find romance

To the Irish reggae band

From Dublin down to Kingston

From Nine-mile to Donegal

They come from every part of the island

And we play for one and all

We're seeking fun and laughter

On this warm Jamaican night

No politics no religion

There's no time to fuss and fight

In the land of sun and music

Where the rum is close at hand

Oh they sing and dance and they find romance

To the Irish reggae band
