• while I'm gone

    2009-06-28

    I remember when we used to sit
    In a government yard in trenchtown
    Observing the hypocrites
    Mingle with the good people we meet
    Good friends we have  now
    Good friends we have lost
    Along the way
    In this great future,
    You can't forget your past
    So dry your tears, I say

    I remember when we used to sit
    In the government yard in trenchtown
    When Georgie would make the fire lights
    I say, log would burnin' through the nights
    Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
    Of which I'll share with you


    My feet is my only carriage


    So I've got to push on thru,

    And while I'm gone
