Old And The Young

Chorus:
I see the old and the young have to come
Come forth come seeketh Jah Jah kingdom
Watch the old and the young have to come
Behold the knowledge and gain the wisdom

Granny say she old but she no cold
She no have time fi go lose her soul
Say she want to leave out the pickney control
Haile Selassie I precious more than silver and gold
Him have the half that never been told
She want to head to Ethiopia and leave out the north pole
Granny say she no want live like no critch owl
King Selassie I she say she have to behold

Chorus:

Well mad man dem want come
Say dem want stop nyam out a drum
All the gun man dem want fi put down dem gun
No more innocent man not fi get shot down
Dem a wait pon the Armageddon fi come
Man stop eat pork, man stop drink rum
Man stop smoke coke, stop take opium
Round the ites, green and gold every man want fi come
Only Emperor Selassie I can make dem have fun
I see the old and the young have to come

Chorus:

Oh what a joy to see the gathering
To see the elderly and the little children sing
Oh what a joy to see the gathering
And the good vibes we maintaining
Oh what a joy to see the bingi chanting
With the one-two clapping and the drum beating
Oh what a joy to see the bingi chanting
Earthquake, thunder, lightning
Well, I could hear the voice of every Ethiopian hailing
Heading to the east and from the west we are leaving
Nyabingi drum everyone keep chanting
Redemption song every man keep railing
Only King Selassie I alone can give the blessing
The old and the young have to come
Dem have to chant and sing

Chorus:
