Junior Reid – Original Foreign Mind Lyrics

Reggae

Well, this is the original foreign mind
Say, deaf, dem must be blind
Woah-oy, dem must be blind

I worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind
Deaf, dem must be blind
Worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind

Say, foreign is a place where people come and go
When some people go to foreign
They see things they never see before
And forget all about their bredrin back a yard how him living so poor
Right now he's down there sleeping on floor
Can't you see?

Worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind
Deaf, dem must be blind
Worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind

Look how mi black, look how mi shine
This is just a secret to keep in your mind
Michael Jackson sing "The Girl Is Mine"
Johnny Osbourne sing about rewind
Foreign dem sell lemon, Jamaica sell lime
Nah cook the soup without mi have mi thyme
Mi nah mix mi wash it up, mi have mi lime
Baby wash mi clothes, she hang it on the line
Some man gone a foreign, gone go turn shoe shine
Mi rather do some business pon the front line

Worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind
Deaf, dem must be blind
Worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind (Ayy)

Around the band mi have mi
William and Luke and David Radigan
Mi go a England, find out she be fine
Take me to the club fi drink exotic wine
Me want come back a yard 'cause me nuh foreign mind
Me come back a yard, mi love mi sunshine
New York nice, but in the summertime
Canada nice, but in the summertime
London nice, but in the summertime
Tell you say, Jamaica nice all the time
Living in Jamaica, that a paradise
Cook mi food, Jah Jah know, it nice
A can of banana fi mi lunch, me eat it by the bunch
Me relax inna coach, I drink mi fruit punch
Any girl pass me say, "Hi, honey bunch"
"Can I have you for my dinner, have you for my lunch?"
She say

How mi stand, how mi stay, how mi look
Humbly Brook weh mi took, Black Star coach a reach Worgin
Wife inna kitchen, she a cook
Nuff nuh food a fi mi lunch
Nuff nuh food get me in the mood
Some say mi bad, some say mi rude
Look how mi smooth, look how mi smooth
Look how mi black, look how mi shine
This is the secret not to keep in mind
Bitter mi lemon, you're bitter mi lime
Jenny wash mi clothes, she hang it on the line

Worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind
Deaf, dem must be blind
Worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind

You better walk and talk line
For now is a serious time
Foreign is a place where people come and go (Come and go)
When some people go to foreign
They see things they never see before
Then forget all about their bredrin back a yard how him living so poor
Poor, poor-poor, oh-oh-oh
Worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind
Deaf, dem must be blind
Worry dem, I worry dem, I worry dem
I worry dem foreign mind
You better walk and talk line
For now is a serious time
