Never Get Weary

I was down in the valley for a very long time

And I never get weary yet

I was down in the valley for a very long time

And I never get weary yet

I was born and raised in a little old shack

With my poor family

I was born and raised in a little old shack

With my poor family, with my poor family

I was born before Christopher Columbus, yeah

And I was born before the Arawak Indians

Trod in creation, before this nation

I'll always remember

I can't forget, whoa, whoa, whoa

I was walking on the shore and they took me in the ship

And they throw me overboard

And I swung right out of the belly of the whale

And I never get weary yet

They put me in jail and I did not do no wrong

And I never get weary yet

Say they put me in jail and I didn't get no bail

And I never get weary yet

Never get weary yet

I know, I was born before Christopher Columbus, yeah

And I was born before, yeah, the Arawak Indians

Trod in creation, before this nation

I'll always remember, this I can't forget, oh, yeah (Ah!)

I was down in the valley for a very long time

And I never get weary yet

I was down in the valley for a very long time

And I never get weary yet

I was born and raised in a little old shack

With my poor family

I was born and raised in a little old shack

With my poor family, with my poor family

Yes, I was born before Christopher Columbus, yeah

And I was born before the Arawak Indians

Trod in creation, before this nation

I'll always remember, I can't forget, whoa (Ah!)

Whoa, never get weary yet

No I never get weary

When I was down in the ghetto
