MARCUS GARVEY - Burning Spear [W. Rodney]
Marcus Garvey's words come to pass,-
Marcus Garvey's words come to pass,
Can't get no food to eat,
Can't get no money to spend, Wo-oo-oo
Can't get no food to eat,
Can't get no money to spend, Woo -oo- oo
Come, little one and let me do what I can do for you
And you and you alone
Come, little one, wo-oo-oo
Let me do what I can do for you and you alone, woo-oo-oo
You know the right
And do heed might
Shall be spanked with many stripes,
Weeping and wailing and moaning,
You've got yourself to blame, I tell you.
Do right do right do right do right do right,
Tell you to do right, Woo -oo- oo
Beg you to do right, Woo -oo- oo
Where is Bagawire, he's nowhere to be found
He can't be found
First betrayer who gave away Marcus Garvey
Son of Satan, First prophesy,
Catch them, Garvey old
Catch them Garvey, catch them Woo -oo- oo
Hold them Marcus, hold them Woo -oo- oo
Marcus Garvey, Marcus Woo -oo- oo

History can recall the days of slav'ry. (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Oh slav'ry day (Do you remember the days of slav'ry ?)

Yes they stoneth him to death
Noone remember old Marcus Garvey,

A hatred scatter, even melt before the fire light go out

Humble yourself and become one day somehow

JORDAN RIVER - Burning Spear [Rodney/ Lawrence/ Fullwood]
No wicked shall not enter this-a river
The fittest of the fittest shall enter
Who is the son of he from Buzz Rock
With his garment dipped in blood?
All I know is that
Jordan River gonna roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll,
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll,
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll.
Let it roll, let it roll, must roll,
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll.
Jordan River go roll, a go roll
Jordan River a go roll, a go roll
Roll,Jordan River.
Roll,Jordan River,
Roll,Jordan River,
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll,
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River a go roll
Jordan River a go roll, a go roll.
Roll, River Jordan, roll
Roll, River Jordan, roll
Roll, River Jordan
Roll, River Jordan
A go roll, a go roll, a go roll.
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River a go roll
My black brothers and sisters
Waiting up on I and I come forth home,
Hold hands in hands.
Be side by side,
Sing happy songs at River Jordan's side
Jordan River gonna roll, roll, roll
Jordan River gonna roll
River gonna roll, gonna roll
Roll, roll, roll,
Jordan River gonna roll
No wicked shall not enter this river
Roll, roll, roll,
