John Crow lyrics - Jimmy Cliff

(from "Marked For Death" soundtrack)

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

Every road have a bend, every 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

John Crow a go nyam your supper soon, boy

John Crow a go lead the children astray

John Crow a go meet the retribution

Justice has finally find it's way

Screwface, you know that your time has come

You don't do right you gonna dead tonight

So know I go take you down the road to doom

And John Crow a go nyam all your supper soon

John Crow a go nyam your supper soon, boy

John Crow a go lead the children astray

John Crow a go meet the retribution

Justice has finally find it's way

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

Try to lead the children astray (astray)

But don't we know a who fi frighten

Take my hands I will show you the way

John Crow a go nyam your supper soon, boy

John Crow a go lead the children astray

John Crow a go meet the retribution

Justice has finally find a way

John Crow, John Crow

Don't we know who fi frightened

John Crow, John Crow

Somebody a go dead tonight

John Crow

I know who

John Crow a go nyam your supper soon, boy

John Crow a go lead the children astray

John Crow a go meet the retribution

Justice has finally find a way

John Crow a go nyam your supper soon, boy

John Crow a go lead the children astray

John Crow a go meet the retribution

Justice has finally find a way

John Crow a go nyam your supper soon, boy

John Crow a go lead the children astray

John Crow a go meet the retribution

Justice has finally find a way
