Moses Children - Bunny Wailer

Tell them tell them

Tell them the reason

Why you crying children

Tell them tell them tell them

The Reason why you she'd those tears

Tell them tell them

Tell them the reason

Why you crying children

Tell them tell them tell them the

Reason why you she'd those tears

If I never did right or if I

Ever did wrong wrong wrong

It's because situation arise

Where things don't seem to belong

Trial and crosses are always

Before me thorns and prickles

In-a my way my way my way

With the task-master always

Behind me waiting for a chance

To take my life away

And my burdens they're getting

Heavy and heavier every day

My burdens I'm like one who

Labours without no pay

My burdens sweating like a slave

To live another day

My burdens if I didn't follow my

Mind I would be gone astray

For silver and gold have I none have I none

Silver and Gold have I none have I none

Silver silver silver

And Gold have I none have I none

Silver and gold have I none have I none

So wont you tell them tell them

Tell them the reason

Why you crying children

Tell them tell them tell them the

Reason why you she'd those tears

Tell them tell them

Tell them the reason

Why you crying children

Tell them tell them tell them

The Reason why you she'd those tears

Working round the clock and obeying

The gong is like the weak who's

Got to feed the strong

I got to carry my load like a

Child of Israel battering and

Dragging along along along

Blessed is the man who keepeth

His faith and hope for the

Day of his great Redemption

To get away from grief and hate

And into the joys of the sweet liberations

Slave driver
