A                        D
I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say
E                          A  
My mind was drifting on in Martinque Bay
A                         D
It's not that I'm not interested you see
E                       A
Augusta Georgia is just no place to be


Chorus:
A                         D  
Just think Jamaica in the moonlight
E                            A  
Sandy beaches, drinking that rum every night
A                         D
We've got no money, mama, but we can go
E                           E 
We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove

Just keep on talking, momma, I can hear
Your voice it tickles down inside of my ear
I feel a tropical vacation this year
Might be the answer to that hillbilly beer

Chorus

Voila, an American dream
Ah, we can travel girl without any means
It's as easy as closing your eyes
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign

Solo

Just keep on talking mama, I like that sound
It goes so good with that rain fallin' down
I feel a tropical vacation this year
Might be the answer to that Hillbilly beer

Chorus
