Long Day Bud A Bawl

Long day bud a bawl
It mean yu na plant no herb
Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean yu na plant no herb
Lazy boy
Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean yu na plant no herb
Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean yu na plant no herb

And everyday yu jus a tell rastaman
Say yu want high grade
and everyday yu jus a tell the rastaman
Say yu want high grade

Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean na plant no food
Long Day a bawl
Yu mean na plant no food
Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean na plant no food
Long Day a bawl
Yu mean na plant no food

And as yu feel peckish my god
Yu want beef soup
And yu want pumpkin soup
And as sunday come
Yu want rice and peas
Yu no plant no food
So wha' yu a go eat
Tell me a breeze

Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean na plant no herb
Long Day a bawl
Yu mean na plant no herb
Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean na plant no herb
Long Day a bawl
Yu mean na plant no herb

Every morning yu wake up
Talk' bout yu get rude
Every time yu hungry yu bawl out
Yu soon get rude
When yu see people things
All yu want do a take out your gun
When yu sight people things
Yu just want take out your gun

Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean na make no move
Long Day a bawl
Yu mean na make no move
Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean na make no move
Yu no want progress
Long Day a bawl
Yu mean na make no move

And when yu see people make move
Yu get in the groove
Live down people house by night
Tell me what yu prove
And every time yu see people things
Your eye get red
Every time yu see people things
Yu say yu a get dread

Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean na plant no herb
Long Day a bawl
Yu mean na plant no herb
Long day bud a bawl
Yu mean na plant no herb
Long Day a bawl
Yu mean na plant no herb

respect everytime

Culture-Old Tattoo

My bredreen i love so well
When we where all such sufferers
There was an old tattoo
Dat He made i
To cover i Shade Down in cell
Way down in the gullie
There was an old tatto
Dat He made i
To cover my i shade down in cell
But we wait him down
One day while we were gone dat way
To chant Jah old black work
Me say
Here cames the old tatto
Dat He made i
To cover i shade down in the cell
We are all children of africa and the Most Hig
He shamed came the old tatto
Dat He made i
To cover i shade down in cell
Sad news
But a pain to my heart
Can yu imagine dat
Way we have been in sufferation
Do yu tink out
Dat dought is to yu
Do yu tink my brother

Me say
Here cames the old tatto
Dat He made i
To cover i shade down in cell
Been this for me my brother yeh
Here cames the old tatto
Dat He made i
To cover i shade down in cell
Mother and father feel it and turn around
Me say
Here cames the old tatto
Dat He made i
To cover i shade down in cell
We have gone on wailing for an equal rights and love
Me say
Here cames the old tatto
Dat He made i
To cover i shade down in cell
We use to praise and give tanks and lick up togheter
Here comes the old tatto
Dat he made i
Look over i shelt and said
He got no mercy on i'n'i turn a red to
Here comes the old tatto...fade

[Lampson13]

Sounds to me more like:

"There was an Old Tattoo, That he made I, to Cover I shelterless Head"

"One Day when we were gone away, to chant Jah Holy Word. ...Him tear down the Old Tattoo, that he made I, to cover I shelterless Head."

"Him shake down the Old Tattoo, that he made I, to cover I shelterless Head."

"Do you think, my brother, I could have done this to you?"

[Lampson13]

I listened to song again. Some parts still not clear but sounds to me like this.


My brethren whom I love so well
When we where all such sufferers
There was an Old Tattoo
That He made I
To cover I shelterless Head
-Way down in the gully-
‘Cause there was an Old Tattoo
That He made I
To cover I shelterless Head
-But hear wha’ him do-
One day, while we were gone away
To chant Jah Holy Word
Me Seh
Him tear down the Old Tattoo
That he made I
To cover I shelterless head
-We are all children of Africa and the Most High-
Him shake down the Old Tattoo
That he made I
To Cover I shelterless Head
-Sad News – Fresh!-
What a pain to my heart!!
Could you imagine that?
The way I feel in sufferation!
Do you think I would have done this to you?
Do you think, my brother,
I could have done this to you?
Me Seh
Him shake down the Old Tattoo
That he made I
To cover I shelterless Head
-Feel this for me my Brother, yeah!-
Mi Seh
Him shake down the Old Tattoo
That he made I
To cover I shelterless Head
-Mother and Father feel it and thunder roll-
Me Seh
Him shake down the Old Tattoo
That He made I
To Cover I shelterless Head
-With Jah gonna move it forward with and equal rights and love-
Me Seh
Him shake down the Old Tattoo
That he made I
To cover I shelterless Head
-We used to praise and give tanks and lick cup together-
Him shake down the Old Tattoo
That He made I
To cover I shelterless Head
He ‘aint got no mercy on I and I cold nor rain dew
‘Tear down the Old Tattoo… fade
