Jimmy Cliff - John Crow

Tekst :

Intro:
Evil find a place in darkness
Fisherman cryin´ in place by the sea
Well, I know we´re dyin´ in Kigston town
Me bredren know you come home without leave

Every road ever been,

If you been a wicked boy,

Chorus:

John Crow, we´re goin´

Are you worried it´s just
a wolf in sheep´s clothing?
Tryin´ to lead the children astray
But don´t you know our ´ope it brighten?
Take my hands, i will show you the way

    All together

    There s an orchestra of orcas, all of em whaling away.
    Choruses of porpoises echoing down the bay.
    There s a great big seal of approval,
    Flocks of penguins at play.
    Squeaking and gabbing and shrieking and babbling,
    They ve got so much to say.

    We re all singing the same sweet song.
    Some sing treble...

    Piece of my heart

    Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

    Didn t I make you feel like you were the only man —yeah!
    Didn t I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can
    Honey, you know I did!
    And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I ve had enough,
    But...

    Be careful

    I always knew how to lock up my soul
    Aception all cases when I give up control
    Was always afraid to loose myself and you

    You weren´t too much but beeing lonely
    But I can tell you you´re not the only
    Whose need of someone
    someone who can catch...

    El coro dominicano

    Imma dedicate this song to all my dominican peopes no doubt

    That certain female

    Well
    Ah huh-uh-uh-huh, oooow!

    Well I’m’a just’a single fella
    With a lot on my mind
    And I’m’a lookin’ for me a woman
    But she’s mighty hard ta’find

    Oh’I asked my country cousin
    Check the hottest spots in town...
