Take Me Home Country Roads~Toots & The Maytals

Almost heaven, West Jamaica
True ridge mountains, shining down the river
All my friends there, older than those ridge
Younger than the mountains, blowin’ like a breeze

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my ol' momma
Take me home country roads

I heard her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me
Said "Son you remind me of my home far away"
And drivin' down the road I feel a sickness
I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
All my memories, all gathered 'round her
My my lady swingin' through the water, water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, tears gone from my eyes

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my ol' momma
Take me home country roads

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my ol' momma
Take me home country roads

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my ol' momma
Take me home country roads

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my ol' momma
Take me home country roads

A legend has moved on to see our ancestors. His spirit has left us. But his impact remains.

Toots is finally on his way home...what wonderful memories he shared in reggae music! Another giant has stepped out of the arena. Fare ye well Toots. God speed.

[boblysy]

he gave such a touching tribute to his home country. RIP Toots.

I like the original, but I think I love this one even better. 47 years ago my best beloved and I honeymooned in Jamaica, just as reggae was beginning to get known in the States. Such sweet memories...

[horatiobarnes]

He has touched the lives of every Jamaican we will never forget you Toots RIP .

[chrispreston]

Cover versions don't always work, but when Toots got hold of this country classic he made a classic respectful Reggae version. Love it, both the original and Toots version.

I remembered when this song came out it was a very big hit, listening to this song and looking at the scenery.You will see lives to see those glorious days in Jamaica again, especially those country buses.Those was the sweet, sweet days, go to Kingston into one of those country buses.It is the sweetest thing you can remember getting, and every towns you reached.The driver and the conductress and the baggage man, will tell you every towns you reached, and where they are taking the break, or refreshments.Where you can used the restrooms, and buy a drink

Sitting down listening to this track and reminiscing on the good old days in the country sides of St Mary Jamaica. There is no place on this earth as sweet as Jamaica. Missing my country, missing my people. Hope I return to enjoy my land before the sun sets on my life and a hearse bring me home. Blessed Place! Big up JA!!!

It's week 4 of quarantine in Sochi, Russia. Week ago they allowed us to drive between 10am to 4pm, I went to mountains straight away listening to this golden classic. Bless you all, folks.

So happy we got to see you in your full spirit not too long ago. We are Jamericans....and one reason is because of Toots. May you rest in Reggae heaven and love.
