Mama Africa
How are you doing Mama Mama Africa Long time me no see you Mama They took me away from you Mama Long before I was born They took me away from you Mama Long before I came on in There's so many things about you Wondering where you are They try their best to hide you Mama But I search and I find you In you there's so much beauty In you there's so much life In you there's so many kingdoms To me it's out of sight You're the maker of gold Mama You're the maker of diamond You're the maker of pearls And the maker of all precious goals I've been waiting, yearning, looking Searching to find you I've been crying, praying hoping That I may find you Mama You're my mother Africa You're my father Africa I'm proud of you Mama I love you Mama I'm proud of you Mama I love you heavenly |

Deep down in Jamaica, close to Mandeville
Back up in the woods, on top of a hill There stood an old hut made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode He never learned to read or write so well But he could play his guitar like ringin' a bell yell Said go, go Johnny! Johnny be good tonight! Said go, go Johnny! Johnny B. Goode... He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Sit beneath a tree in the railroad track Old engineer in the train sittin' in the shade Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made People passing by would stop and say: "Oh my, oh my, what the boy can play" Said go, go Johnny! Johnny be good tonight! Said go, go Johnny! Johnny B. Goode... "Son, you gotta be a man, You got to be the leader of a reggae band People comin' in from miles around To hear you play until the sun goes down Boy, someday your name will be in the lights Sayin' JOHNNY - JOHNNY B. GOODE TONITE" I said go, go Johnny! Johnny be good tonight! Said go, go Johnny! Johnny you better be good Said go, go Johnny! Johnny be good tonight! Go, go Johnny! Johnny B. Goode... |

Nobody feel no way
It's coming close to payday I say Nobody feel no way Everyman get paid a quota's work this day Can I plant peas and reap rice Can I plant cocoa and reap yam Can I plant turnip and reap tomato Can I plant breadfruit and reap potato Can I tell lie and hear truth Can I live bad and love good Can I deliver and get down Can I give a dollar and want a pound Can I be wrong and get right? Can I be kicked and don't fight? Can I drink water and get drunk? Can I drink whiskey and stay sober? |
