Burning Spear - Little Garvey lyrics
rate meHold them little Garvey, hold them!<br />
Hold them big Marcus, hold them!<br />
Show them we can get rough, hold them!<br />
<br />
The Black Star Liner<br />
People were traveling, sailing, traveling<br />
People were traveling, sailing, traveling<br />
People were having nice times<br />
And taking care of business<br />
Having nice times<br />
And taking care of business<br />
<br />
Hold them little Garvey, hold them!<br />
Hold them big Marcus, hold them!<br />
Show them we can get rough, hold them!<br />
<br />
There is a black girl in the ring (in the ring)<br />
There is a Korean girl in the ring (in the ring)<br />
There is a white girl in the ring (in the ring)<br />
They were traveling, sailing<br />
On the Black Star Liner<br />
Traveling, sailing<br />
On the Black Star Liner<br />
<br />
Hold them little Garvey, hold them<br />
Hold them Big Marcus, hold them!<br />
Show them we can get rough, hold them!<br />
<br />
You heard about Garvey<br />
And some elderly people<br />
Were talking and discussing<br />
Old Marcus Garvey<br />
<br />
Hold them little Garvey, hold them<br />
Hold them Big Marcus, hold them!<br />
Show them we can get rough, hold them!<br />
<br />
That clock was ringing in the square<br />
Downtown in St.Ann's Bay<br />
Surrounded by<br />
Baptist Church surrounded by<br />
Police station surrounded by<br />
Fireman house surrended by<br />
House of justice surrounded by<br />
Post office surrounded by<br />
Public market<br />
<br />
Hold them little Garvey, hold them<br />
Hold them Big Marcus, hold them!<br />
Show them we can get rough, hold them!<br />
<br />
First bag-a-wire<br />
Jamaican version<br />
Second bag-a-wire<br />
American version<br />
Sailing man trading<br />
<br />
Hold them little Garvey, hold them<br />
Hold them Big Marcus, hold them!<br />
Show them we can get rough, hold them!<br />
<br />
The red, the black, and the green<br />
Was flying so high<br />
The red, the white and blue<br />
Was also flyin'<br />
And now they will know the truth<br />
About Marcus Garvey<br />
<br />
Hold them little Garvey, hold them<br />
Hold them Big Marcus, hold them!<br />
Show them we can get rough, hold them!<br />
<br />
Big parade in the square of Harlem<br />
Big parade in the square of Harlem<br />
That clock was ringing in the square<br />
We got to tell them that<br />
Marcus Garvey<br />
He has no fear<br />
<br />
Hold them little Garvey, hold them<br />
Hold them Big Marcus, hold them!<br />
Show them we can get rough, hold them!
