Taj Mahal — West Indian Revelation lyrics

Lyrics

I spent last summer on an island
In the Mediterranean Sea
The sunshine was so bright
Yes you know it burned me down
To my soul
I wish everybody
That I had to love was there with me What a time, baby what a time
I had when I was there
Mmm, mm, oo, mm First I’m an African man
Second I’m black Jamaican
Third I’m black American
First I’m an African man
Second I’m black Jamaican
Third I’m black American
First I’m an African man
Second I’m black Jamaican
Third I’m black American
Shake it shake it shake it shake it Shake it shake it let your body swim
Shake it shake it shake it shake it Shake it shake it baby take a pull of rum again
If you have not had enough of it in your life
You just cannot have your fill
Mmm, ooo, mmm
First I’m an African man
Second I’m black Jamaican
Third I’m black American
