Bob Marley lyrics

Jahnice · Mar 27, 2015

people all around the world, from every country and all walks of life
LOVE Bob Marley's music!

the lyrics are a beautiful reminder of the simple truths in life but are often misunderstood.

i have a Bob Marley songbook and would like to share with everyone some of the 'wise words of the master'.

Enjoy....

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?
because all I ever had,
redemption songs,
redemptions songs.

emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
none but ourselves can free our minds.
have no fear for atomic energy,
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 fulfill the book.

won't you help to sing,
these songs of freedom?
because all I ever had,
redemption songs,
redeption songs,
redemption songs.

emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
none but ourselves can free our minds.
have no fear for atomic energy,
because none of them can stop the time.
how long shall they kill our prophets,
while we stand aside and look?
some say it is just a part of it,
we've got to fulfill the book.

won't you help to sing,
these songs of freedom?
because all i've ever had,
redemption songs,
these songs of freedom,
songs of freedom.

R.I.P. Robert Nesta Marley

One Love--

One Love, one heart,
let's get together and feel alright.
hear the children crying, one love
hear the children crying, one heart

saying, give thanks and praise to the lord
and i will feel alright
saying, let's get together and feel alright
let them all pass all their dirty remarks, one love
there is one question i'd really love to ask, one heart
is there a place for the hopeless sinner
who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
believe me

one love , one heart
let's get together and feel alright
as it was in the beginning. one love
so shall it be in the end. one heart

alright, give thanks and praise to the lord
and i will feel allright
one more thing
let's get together to fight this holy Armageddon. one love
so when the man comes there will be no, no doom
one song
have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
there ain't no hiding place from the father of creation

saying, one love, one heart
let's get together and feel alright
i'm pleading to mankind. one love
oh lord, one heart

whoa, give thanks and praise to the lord
and i will feel alright
let's get together and feel alright

Natural Mystic

Natural Mystic

"Natural Mystic"

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
If you listen carefully now you will hear.
This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will have to die - don't ask me why.

Things are not the way they used to be,
I won't tell no lie
One and all have to face reality now.
'Though I've tried to find the answer to all the questions they ask.
'Though I know it's impossible to go livin' through the past -
Don't tell no lie.

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air -
Can't keep them down -
If you listen carefully now you will hear.

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air.

This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will have to die - don't ask me why.

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air -
I won't tell no lie
If you listen carefully now you will hear:
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air.
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air

Three Little Birds

don't worry about a thing,
because every little thing gonna be allright,
singing, 'don't worry about a thing,
because every little thing is gonna be allright',
rise up this morning,
smiled with the rising sun,
three little birds pitch by my doorstep,
singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true,
saying,
'this is my message to you-oo-oo'.

singing, 'don't worry about a thing,
because every little thing gonna be alright',
singing, 'don't worry about a thing,
because every little thing is gonna be alright'
rise up this morning,
smiled with the rising sun,
three little birds pitch by my doorstep,
singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true,
saying,
'this is my message to you-oo-oo'

singing,
'don't worry about a thing,
because every little thing gonna be alright'.

SMALL AXE

why boasteth thyself,
oh evil men,
playing smart and not being clever?
i say you're working iniquity to achieve vanity,
yeah,
but the goodness of Jah Jah endureth forever.

if you are the BIG TREE,
we are the SMALL AXE,
sharpened to cut you down,
ready to cut you down.
these are the words of my master,
keep on telling me no weak heart shall prosper,
oh, no they can't,
and whosever diggeth a pit,
lord, shall fall in it,
shall fall in it.
whosoever diggeth a pit,
shall bury in it,
shall bury in it.

if you are the BIG TREE,
we are the SMALL AXE,
sharpened to cut you down,
ready to cut you down.
these are the words of my master,
keep on telling me no weak heart shall prosper,
oh, no they can't.
and whosever diggeth a pit,
lord, shall bury in it,
shall bury in it.

if you have a BIG TREE,
we have a SMALL AXE,
ready to cut you down,
sharpened to cut you down.

if you are the BIG TREE,
we have a SMALL AXE,
ready to cut you down ,
sharpened to cut you down.

Last october, at the funeral of my friend Jack, they played 2 songs "one love" and "three little birds". The sun was shining in the little church and some of the ladys were singing along quietly. Jack was a big Bob Marley fan and the 2 songs were perfect.

"400 Years"

400 years (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
And it's the same -
The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy
I've said it's four hundred years;
(400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
Look, how long (wo-o-o-o)
And the people they (wo-o-o-o) still can't see.
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
And without these youths, they would be gone -
All gone astray

Come on, let's make a move:
(make a move, make a move. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) - time has come,
And if-a fools don't see
(fools don't see, fools don't see. Wo-o-o-o)
I can't save the youth:
The youth (wo-o-o-o) is gonna be strong.
So, won't you come with me;
I'll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live - live a good, good life
And be free.

Look how long: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) -
Way too long! (wo-o-o-o)
That's the reason my people (wo-o-o-o) - my people can't see.
Said, it's four hundred long years - (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) - same philosophy.

It's been 400 years, (400 years, 400 years)
Wait so long! Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o.
How long? 400 long, long years. [fadeout]

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 in the heart of America.

if you know your history,
then you would know where you're 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-yoe-yoe-yoe,
woe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe.

buffalo soldier, trodding through the land, oh.
said he wanna ran, and 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 Carribean.

singing, woe-yoe-yoe,
woe-yoe-yoe.yoe,
woe, yoe, yoe, yoe, yoe, yoe, yoe, yoe.

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.

woe, yoe, yoe,
woe, yoe, yoe, yoe.
woe, yoe, yoe, yoe, yoe, yoe, yoe, yoe.
