Lyrics

Chant down Babylon kingdom
Jah Jah mi seh chant down Babylon now
Chant down Babylon kingdom
Jah Jah mi seh chant down Babylon now
Babylon! Is the mother of harlots
Babylon! An abomination of this earth
Babylon! Ascending out of the bottomless pit
And going to purdition
Chant down Babylon kingdom
Jah Jah mi seh chant down Babylon now
Hear what I say?
Chant down Babylon kingdom
Jah Jah mi seh chant down Babylon now
Babylon! Behold the lion of the tribe of Judah
Babylon! The rule of David
Babylon! Hath prevailed to open the book
And to loose the seven seals thereof!
Chant down Babylon kingdom
Jah Jah mi seh chant down Babylon now
Hear what I say?
Chant down Babylon kingdom
Jah Jah mi seh chant down Babylon now
Babylon! Behold the lion of the tribe of Judah
Babylon! The rule of David
Babylon! Hath prevailed to open the book
And loose the seven seals thereof!
Chant down Babylon kingdom
Jah Jah mi seh chant down Babylon now
Hear what I say?
Chant down Babylon kingdom
Jah Jah mi seh chant down Babylon now

Small axe cover my head
All I see everyday is just bloodshed
Brother killing off brother for a piece of bread
Oh mama gonna tie har belly for har son
Come mek wi chant dung Babylon

Mi seh mi fling dem outta sea and di shark don't see
Throw dem gi di hog and di hog nah grab
Put dem on a line seh dem don't look fine
And mi show dem likkle love dem a huff and a puff
Show dem likkle love dem a huff and a puff
Mek wi chant dung Babylon

Cah mi seh bruk two comb and mi cyaan guh home
Throw two stone inna Rome

Come mek wi chant dung Babylon
But beg a hand, wicked man hand a fi di gunners I would say
Oh man mek wi chant dung Babylon
My friend William Gordon
Di odda one Paul Bogle
Di prophesied Marcus Garvey

Di coconut trees are wailing
Bananas trees are drying up
So di prophet could feel as I would say, yeah
Oh man mek wi chant dung Babylon
Cah mi seh no back-stabbing
Cah mi seh no backbiting, yeah
Chant dung Babylon
Oh man mek wi chant dung Babylon
Flee from di city
Cah di city have been set upon a fyah
In di time of trouble you got to call upon to Jah
Cah woe be unto them that steal my sheep from out my pasture
And scatter dem in the city
Woe be unto dem I would say
As the water cover the sea
So hath the righteousness cover the Lord
But mek wi chant dung Babylon
Sing it mek wi chant dung Babylon
No wicked can come eat up I and I flesh
Jah shall mek dem stumble and fell
Righteous man haffi stand
Show dem dat di righteous man haffi stand
And mek wi chant dung Babylon
Becah wi throw dem gi di hog and di hog nah grab
Throw dem gi di sea and di shark don't see
Throw dem pon a line and dem don't look fine
