Not even close...

(Of course, maybe "Take Me to the River" also starts with the same line?)

The one I have in mind is from ca. 1960.

Not even close to what you were thinking of, maybe, but right on as the Al Green song goes. :)

That's the first line of the song. I believe it will be more recognizable from the first line of the chorus:

"I see Jamaica in the moonlight."

One more hint and then I'll give it up. Sorry, I thought this would be easy.

"I see Jamaica in the moonlight,

Sandy beaches drinking rum every night."

hint: Linda Ronstadt sings back-up on this.

Oops! Sorry. My mind was driftin' off on Martinique Bay.

I know it was the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band but, alas, the title escapes me.

I'll give it you. It's called "An American Dream" and it is indeed by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Check out this video, it's a "hoot".
