Re: Looking for song/lyrics to old 80's Reggae song

Alee... No.2 is the lyrics of 2 different Jamaican folk songs, Miss Lou's - Long Time Gal, very famous song in Jamaica which is done in many stage shows, http://www.jamaicans.com/culture/folk/longtime.shtml

Wheel+Turn mi - is another song altogether, a mento song/JA folk song, but again Miss Lou does this one also but Theo Beckford did a earlier version i think, i have a video of someone singing it i put on youtube long time ago and i think it's Theo Beckford, not sure if he was first.
Goes like: "A Weh u a wheel and turn mi, a weh u a wheel and turn mi, we want to go fall? down? lick mi belly pon tambourine", (repeats)
hope the info helps a little...but an 80's version could be anyone..miss lou if a woman...

There is another version of Long Time Gal which has the Wheel and turn lyrics in aswell so this is likely whjat your after...link below with video...

Hi Ashanti Gussie

The songs you are after can be found on a 12" disco 45", and also re-relased by VP a few years back on "Joe Gibbs 12" Reggae Discomix Showcase Volume 1".

Michael Black - Natty Contractor & Ranking Joe - Drunken Master

Joe's "Drunken Master" was also released on a 7" pressed on Gibb's label in Miami.

Davek, respect in all aspect.thank u thank u thank u.can't express the gratitude.just tumbled on this forum 2dy and hey this is wonderfully amazing.

I believe Toots and the Maytals did the original "pomps and pride",then Barrington Levy alongside Lord Sassa Frasss "..... come down off yo pomps and pride ...me nah cater fi the bwy weh get rich and go switch..." Something like that
