lyrics

REVOLUTION’S FAREWELL
Chorus
Heading out of Kingston,
See the Revolution sail,
Heading North for London Town,
For snow and ice and gale.

Bob Marley is our Captain,
Of wailing men the best,
Our lookout’s up the main mast
Lighting a spliff in the nest.
In a barrel with tar and canvass,
A Wailer’s free from cold,
It’s Captain Marley’s gift,
Better than silver and gold.
Chorus
When we get to London
Where the Babylon all dwell
And hear that cry, a freedom call,
We’ll be celebrating well,
Dancing to the drum beats,
Lighting another spliff,
For there’s no second chance
With guitar and prance
When you dream another riff.
Chorus
Towing back in the morning
Is wearisome and long
And the Band will stow the blabber
Before we get along.
For making ladies adore us,
We’ll sing a freedom song
And dream of days to come
When a man can do no wrong.
Chorus
When we get back to Kingston,
We’ll be in the money then,
Our honeys they will love us,
Hard singing wailing men.
When we get back to Kingston,
We’ll have ourselves a fling;
We’ll prance with all our women,
Make all the Rastas sing,
Make all the Rastas sing.
