Talkin' Blues
Yeah! Oh, yeah! Now!
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rock was my pillow, too; (doo-oo-oo-oo-oo!)
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rock was my pillow, too. Yeah!
I'm saying: talkin' blues (talkin' blues),
talkin' blues (talkin' blues);
They say your feet is just too big for your shoes. (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues):
Your feet is just too big for your shoes. (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Yeah, I've been down on the rock for so long, (so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw; (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)
I've been down on the rock for so long, (so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw. (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)
But-a I - I'm gonna stare in the sun,
Let the rays shine in my eyes.
I - I'm a gonna take a just-a one step more
'Cause I feel like bombin' a church -
Now - now that you know that the preacher is lyin'.
So who's gonna stay at home
When - when the freedom fighters are fighting?Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues):
They say your feet is just too big for your shoes, woe-oh-oh-oh!
Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), keep on talkin' blues (talkin' blues);
They say - you hear what they say -
Didn't you hear?
Cold ground was my bed (bed last night),
Rockstone - rockstone - rockstone was my pillow;
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night),
And rock was my pillow, too.
Sayin': (talkin' blues, talkin' blues):
I seem to wear a permanent screw - permanent screw.
Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues):
Feet is just too big for your shoes. (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo) /fadeout/Thank You Lord

When I was just a kid, little children,
My old man used to sing a song.

It still lingers deep within my soul,
Lingers deep within my soul.
He say now, this train is bound to glory, this train.
This train is bound to glory, this train.

This train it don't carry no unholy.

Now, this train it don't carry no backsliders, this train.
This train don't carry no backsliders, this train.
This train it don't carry no backsliders,
This train only carry JAH JAH children.
This train it is bound to glory, this train.
Play a little song for me.
This train don't carry no unholy, this train.
This train don't carry no unholy, this train.
This train it don't carry no unholy,
This train only carry the children of JAH.
This train it is bound to glory, this train.So many things to remember,
So many things to forget.
But these words they do linger,
Linger deep within my soul,
Lingers deep within my soul.
This train is bound to glory, this train.

Grab on brothers.
Grab on sisters.
Grab on mother.
Grab on father.
Grab on friend.
THIS TRAIN!Three Little Birds
Don't worry about a thing
cause every little thing is gonna be alright
don't worry about a thing

Rise up this morning
smiled with the rising sun

singing sweet songs
of melodies pure and true
saying, this is my message to you:
don't worry about a thing...Time Will Tell
JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread

But the ones, who set them up

Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell (repeat)
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you living in hellOh children weep no more
Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Oh children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep no more
JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell (repeat)
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you living in hellTop Rankin'

Upon a rock I rest my head
