Lyrics:

Grandpa was an Irishman
from Eireann2s lovely shore he came
He was fighting for the english crown
and settled down in Kingston-Town
One summer2s morning he did stray
near a village called Montego-Bay
He fell in love with a pretty dame
and Mary-Joana was her name

[chorus:]
Do you feel the good vibrations all night long
Sing the Irish Rastafari-Ragamuffin-Song

Father came from Germany
to sail upon the stormy sea
Mother left Jamaica2s strand
to the town of Amsterdam she went
Working in a factory
and he asked her would you marry me
But the sailor-lad was going away
and I was born on a winter2s day

[chorus]

Now I2m sitting in a coffee-shop
writing songs of Ragamuffin-Pop
Livin2 free in harmony
come on everybody and sing with me

[chorus]
