Song I.D.

Post by TheExpanders »

This song just popped in my head that I haven't heard for years. Don't have a recording of it anymore, but i can sort of remember the chorus and hook.

"A weh dem a go tell Jah say
When the time come for them to pay
A weh dem a go tell Jah Say
Dem a go wah fe run away

Dem a go wah fe run, run, dem guh wah fe run away
Dem a go run, run, run, but dem never get away??"

Not sure about that last line, but something like that. I heard it long long ago when i was first getting into reggae. Remembering back i think that it sounded a lot like Don Carlos. If not him then a similar sounding singer from the early-to-mid 80s.

Thanks!
