ANY RIVER  - Burning Spear [Winston Rodney]

Down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside, 
Oh I love a girl. I love her so, 
I really, really want her to know. 

She could be from Africa 
She could be from America 
She could be from Jamaica 

All I know I love a girl.
Oh I love a girl. I love her so, 
I really, really want her to know. 

/: Don't break this heart that love you
Don't break this heart that love you
And neither tear it apart
I love you, oh yes, it's true, dear
I will hold you tight tonight

Have something real nice to say,
Have something real nice to say,
We will hold hands in hands
We will sing, I think, happy songs. 
We will be, I think, side by side
Down by the riverside 
The beautiful riverside :/




THROW DOWN YOUR ARMS -  Burning Spear [W. Rodney]

Throw down your arms and come, 
Throw down your arms and come, 
Throw down your arms and come, 

Two of us have a little fuss,
Ev'rything you draw your last,
Ev'rything you run for your gun,
Ev'rything you fling rock stone.
Hear this! 

Throw down your arms and come, 
Throw down your arms and come, 
Throw down your arms and come, 
Drop them ! 

A no ignorance he do it
A no brute force do it. 
Your weapons can't do it
So hear this ! 

Throw down your arms and come, 
Throw down your arms and come, 
Throw down your arms and come, 
Drop them 
Put them away to stay.

Throw down your arms and come, 
Throw down your arms and come, 
I long to see you, 
I long to reason with you. 
I long to hold your hands in my hands. 
Can't you see,
Can't you see?

Throw down your arms and come, 
Throw down your arms and come, 
Throw down your arms and come, 

(repeat and fade)
