Thread Name: Origins: Country Roads (John Denver) alt. versions
Subject: RE: Req: Other Lyrics to John Denver's Country Roa
There is a reggae version(with lyrics changed to make it appropriate to America): I think it might have been by Toots and the Maytals, but I could be wildly wrong on that.
Yup, Greg, it was Toots and the Maytals - I love the Jamaican rewrite references -
"Almost heaven, West Jamaica,
High Blue Mountains, shining ocean round her..."
