1-Is this love

I wanna love you, and treat you right

I wanna love you, every day and every night

We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter, of my single bed

We'll share the same room, JAH provide the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I am feeling (repeat)

I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now

I got to know, got to know, got to know now

I'm willing and able

So I throw my cards on your table

I wanna love you and treat you right

I wanna love you, every day and every night

We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter, of my single bed

We'll share the same room, JAH provide the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I am feeling (repeat)

Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now

(repeat)

I'm willing and able

So I throw my cards on your table

See I wanna love you, I wanna love and treat

You right, I wanna love you, every day and every night

We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter, of my single bed

We'll share the same room, JAH provide the bread

2-No woman no cry

No woman no cry

Cause I remember when we used to sit

In a government yard in Trenchtown

Observing the hypocrites

Mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have, Oh, good friends we have lost

Along the way

In this great future,

You can't forget your past

So dry your tears, I seh

No woman no cry

Little darling, don't shed no tears

No woman no cry

Said I remember when we use to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire lights

I seh, log would burnin' through the nights

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge

Of which i'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

And so i've got to push on thru,

Oh, while i'm gone

Everything 's gonna be alright

No woman no cry

I seh little darlin'

Don't shed no tears

No woman no cry.

3-Could you be loved

Could you be loved and be loved

Don't let them fool you

Or even try to school you, oh! no

We've got a mind of our own

So go to hell if what you're thinking

Is not right

Love would never leave us alone

In the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved

The road of life is rocky

And you may stumble too

So while you point your fingers

Someone else is judging you

Love you brotherman

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved

Could you be, could you be loved

Don't let them change you

Or even rearrange you, oh! no

We've got a life to live

They say only, only

Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive

Stay alive

Could you be loved and be loved

You ain't gonna miss your water

Until your well runs dry

No matter how you treat him

The man will never be satisfied

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved

Could you be, could you be loved

Say something, say something

Say something

Reggae, reggae

Say something

Rockers, rockers

Say something could you be loved

4-Three little birds

Don't worry about a thing

Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

Don't worry about a thing

Every little thing is gonna be alright

Rise up this morning

Smiled with the rising sun

Three little birds

Pitch by my door step

Singing sweet songs

Of melodies pure and true

Saying, this is my message to you:

Don't worry about a thing...

5-Buffalo soldier

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

There was a Buffalo Soldier

In the heart of America

Stolen from Africa, brought to America

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

I mean it, when I analyse the stench

To me, it makes a lot of sense

How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier

And he was taken from Africa, brought to America

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

Buffalo Soldier, in the heart of America

If you know your history

Then you would know where you coming from

Then you wouldn't have to ask me

Who the heck do I think I am

I'm just a Buffalo Soldier

In the heart of America

Stolen from Africa, brought to America

Said he was fighting on arrival

Fighting for survival

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier

Win the war for America

Dreadie, woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe

Woe yoe yoe yo, yo yo woe yo, woe yoe yoe

(repaet)

Buffalo Soldier, trodding through the land

Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand

Trodding through the land, yea, yea

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier

Win the war for America

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Driven from the mainland

To the heart of the caribbean

Singing, woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe

Woe yoe yoe yo, yo yo woe yo woe yo yoe

(repeat)

Trodding through San Juan

In the arms of America

Trodding through Jamaica, a Buffalo Soldier

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

Singing, woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe

Woe yoe yeo yo, yo yo woe yo woe yo yoe

6-Get up, stand up

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Preacher man don't tell me

But you can fool all the people all the times

And now we see the light

And now you are here

To see what we can do, honey, just me and you

Come on and stir it up, little darling, stir it up

Come on baby come on and stir it up little darling, stir it up

And stir it up, little darling, stir it up

9-I shot the sheriff

(I shot the sheriff)

But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh!

I shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)

Yeah! All around in my home town,

They're tryin' to track me down;

They say they want to bring me in guilty

For the killing of a deputy,

For the life of a deputy.

But I say:

Oh, now, now. Oh!

(I shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff.

(But I swear it was in selfdefence.)

Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!

I say: I shot the sheriff - Oh, Lord! -

(And they say it is a capital offence.)

Yeah! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!

Sheriff John Brown always hated me,

For what, I don't know:

Every time I plant a seed,

He said kill it before it grow -

He said kill them before they grow.

And so:

Read it in the news:

(I shot the sheriff.) Oh, Lord!

(But I swear it was in self-defence.)

Where was the deputy? (Oo-oo-oh)

I say: I shot the sheriff,

But I swear it was in selfdefence. (Oo-oh) Yeah!

Freedom came my way one day

And I started out of town, yeah!

All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown

Aiming to shoot me down,

So I shot - I shot - I shot him down and I say:

If I am guilty I will pay.

(I shot the sheriff,)

But I say (But I didn't shoot no deputy),

I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!

(I shot the sheriff.) I did!

But I didn't shoot no deputy. Oh! (Oo-oo-ooh)

Reflexes had got the better of me

And what is to be must be:

Every day the bucket a-go a well,

One day the bottom a-go drop out,

One day the bottom a-go drop out.

I say:

I - I - I - I shot the sheriff.

Lord, I didn't shot the deputy. Yeah!

I - I (shot the sheriff)

But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah! No, yeah!

10. Waiting in vain

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,

My heart says follow t[h]rough.

But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,

But the waiting feel is fine:

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,

'Cause I know I have to do my thing.

Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;

I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon.

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

'Cause if summer is here,

I'm still waiting there;

Winter is here,

And I'm still waiting there.

Like I said:

It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,

And I still can knock some more:

Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?

I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.

Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,

But your love is my relief:

Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn

While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn, See!

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, Oh!

I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna wait in vain.

I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna wait in vain.

No, I don't wanna (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -

No I - no I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -

No, no-no, I, no, I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -

It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);

It's my love that you're running from.

It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);

It's my love that you're running from.

11-Redemption song

Old pirates yes they rob I

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the almighty

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom

Cause all I ever had, redemption songs

Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear for atomic energy

Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fullfill the book

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom

Cause all I ever had, redemption songs

Redemption songs, redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear for atomic energy

Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look

Yes some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fullfill the book

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom

Cause all I ever had, redemption songs

All I ever had, redemption songs

These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
