Lyrics
Long time we down in a Babylon
Time we fi join hands
A long time we down in a Babylon
We have to get over
Really and truly, woy-woy-woy
We have fi cross home at river Jordan
We have fi cross home at Jerusalem
That's where the righteous men want to be
Really and truly, woy-oy-oy-oy
No more fussing and fighting
No more discrimination
Against our brothers and sisters, woy-oy-oy-oy
Long time we down in a Babylon
Time we fi join hands
A long time we down in a wicked land
We have to get over
Really and truly, woy-woy-woy
We have fi cross home at river Jordan
We have fi cross home at Jerusalem
So come, natty dreadlocks, come
Come, natty dreadlocks, come
A time we fi cross over
Come, natty dreadlocks, come
Long time we down in the Babylon
Time we fi join hands
A long time we down in a Babylon
We have to get over
We have to get out of wicked Babylon
And take us across to Jerusalem
That's where the righteous man wants to be
No more fussing and fighting and no more discrimination
Against our brothers and sisters, woy-oy-oy-oy
A long time we down in the Babylon
Time we fi join hands
A long time we down in a Babylon
A time we fi get over
Really and truly, woy-woy-woy
It's been a long-long time, woy-oy-oy-oy
Too much discrimination against our brothers and sisters
