Desmond Dekker - Many Rivers To Cross (1980)

Lyrics:

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find
My way over

Wandering I am lost
As I travel along
White cliffs of Dover

But this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me
She did not say why
So I guess, I have to try

Many rivers to cross
But it's only my will
That keeps me alive

I've been licked
Washed up for years
And I merely survive
Because of my pride

But this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me
She did not say why
So I guess, I'll have to try

Many rivers to cross
But just where to I begin
I'm searchin for time

But this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me
She did not say why
So I guess, I'll have to try

Many rivers to cross...

Desmond Dekker - Baby Come Back

Desmond Dekker - Carry Go Bring Come

All this carry go bring come my dear
Bring misery
All this carry go bring come my dear
It bring misery
Going from home to home
Making disturbances

It's time you stop fooling yourself
You old Jezebel
The strong shall inherit the earth
You old Jezebel
It needs no light to see
That you're making disturbances
It's better to speak the truth
And use a wise tongue
It's better than bringing oppression
Upon an innocent man
But time will tell on you
You old Jezebel
How long shall the wicked reign over the people
I said how long shall the wicked reign over the people

La la la la la la la la la la la............

Millie Small - Enoch power

Enoch Power

I arrived from Kingston Town
And now live at the bullring
Got to go to Wolverhampton
Help my brothers do a thing
They work all week
To keep the British country running
Weekend it's reggae time
And the neighbours find it funny
So we all sing

Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell, Lord, Lord
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell, Lord, Lord
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell

The kids all stomp their boots so much
The dance floor's really shaking
Their having fun then going Dutch
I feel my poor heart aching, so we all sing

Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell, Lord, Lord
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell, Lord, Lord
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell

One day there'll come a time
When all men will be brothers
They'll talk as well as dance
And live and love with each other
And they'll all sing

Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell, Lord, Lord
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell

One day there'll come a time
When all men will be brothers
They'll talk as well as dance
And live and love with each other
So we'll all sing

Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell, Lord, Lord
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell, Lord, Lord
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell

Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell
Enoch, Enoch, Enoch Powell..
