John Crow Lyrics

Jimmy Cliff

The eagle find him place in darkness

Fisherman find him place by the sea

Light up with that in Kingston town

Mi bredren know you a come home without me


Ev'ry road have a bend, ev'ry wicked have an end

What your hands commit I know your body mus' feel

In this wicked, wicked war your time has come

You don't live right you will have no more fun



Jancro a go nyam your supper soon, boy

Jancro a go lead the children astray

Jancro a go meet the retribution

Justice has finally find it's way



Still, oh yes, you know that your time has come

You don't do right you gonna dead tonight

So now a go take you down the road to doom

The jancro a go nyam all your supper soon



Jancro a go nyam your supper soon, boy

Jancro a go lead the children astray

Jancro a go meet the retribution

Justice has finally find a way



Are you worried, says the wolf in sheep's clothing

Try to lead the children astray

But don't we know (?) a who fe frighten

take my hands I will show you the way



Jancro......Jancro
