Please can anyone help. Would dearly love to know who sang these two songs.
Song 1
Children children where have you been
the emperor's knocking so let him come in
in your heart and soul la la la (repeat verse)
They took us away from Africa
far far far from Jamaica
they made us ah work every night and day
and even today we don't get no pay
but we couldn't run away no no no
we couldn't run away
our only choice was to stay (repeat)
and now we see a brighter day
thats what the emperor say
ma ma ma ma ma ma ah woo jammah??!?!??
Song 2
When your mother forsake you and your father too
When your brother forsake you and your sister too
Give thanks and praise to the lord who is God
He [????] my bredrens the wicked will fall
Nuff thankx
