La Bam Bam
(from Heart of the Congos)
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
for thirty pieces of silver
they sold Jah Rasta and why did they do that?
for thirty pieces of silver
they sold Jah Rasta and why did they do that?
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
Shedrack, Meshack and Abadnego
they came forward and away they go
Daniel in the lion's den
they thouht they would never se him again
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
for thirty pieces of silver
they sold Jah Rasta and why did they do that?
for thirty pieces of silver
they sold Jah Rasta and why did they do that?
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
Joseph with his coat of many colours
was cast in the pit by his own brothers
and Daniel in the lion's den
fools thought they would not see him again
Daniel in the lion's den
they thought they would never see him again
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
Shedrack, Meshack and Abadnego
they came forward and away they go
Daniel in the lion's den
they thought they would never see them again
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam
oh yeah what a la la bam bam bam

Row Fisherman Row
row fisherman row
keep on rowing your bouat
lots of hungry belly pickney they a shore, millions of them
living in a bumbo hut
in a little hole sea-port town
three kids on the floor
and another one to come make four
day by day i man step it
along the sea shore
hail brother John, have you got any wenchman
yes brother Peter, wenchman, sprat and mackaba
row fisherman row keep on rowing your boat

we've got to reach on higher grounds
Simon, Peter, James and John come a shore
to feed the hungry belly ones
so, row fisherman row

Wrong Thing
-dedicated to the pope of rome
all they do is just pray
and they cry every day
all they do is just pray
and they sigh more and more
every day my people going to the church
and the living seems worst and worst
they talk about marcus garvey prophecy
and they don't know their own history
all they do is just say
the wrong thing all over
all they do is just think
the wrong thing all over
fire lightning thunder
a go burn you babel
don't matter where you hide
you can't hide from the wrong
that you have dun
you a go back up pan yourself
you better pray good
talk about the troubles i bear
with my brethren we all will share
equality and justice stands for all
who know this satan queendom must fall
fire lightning and thunder a go burn you
don't matter where you are
