Baby I Love You So
(H. Swaby, J. Miller)
Baby I love you so
And this is what I really know

And if you should ever leave and go away
Baby I'll be slaving every day

Night and day I'll pray
That love will come my way
   
The Heptones
Love Won't Come Easy
(Llewelyn, Dodd, Sibbles, Morgan)
My Mama say "Boy, and listen, understand
You've got to fight hard, boy, to keep your lover's hand"

Mama say "Love won't come easy
Don't think it's easy
Love won't come easy, now, and how"

Mama say "You've got to fight, boy
With all your might, yeah
That is the right thing to do, yeah"

My Mama say "Now, and listen, this is true
A keep your girl" she says "And never start anew"

Mama say "Love won't come easy
A don't think it's easy
Love won't come easy, now, and how"

Mama say "Boy, You've got to fight
With all your might, yeah
That is the right thing to do, yeah"

Mama say "Boy, You've got to fight, yeah
With all your might, now
That is the right thing to do"

"Love won't come easy, now, and how"
Mama say "Boy, You've got to fight
With all your might, yeah
That is the right thing to do, yeah"

"Love won't come easy
A don't think it's easy
Love won't come easy, now, and how"
My Mama say...

Satta Massagana
(B. Collins, D. Mannings, L. Mannings)
There is a land, far far away,
Where there's no night
There's only day.

Look into the book of life, and you will see,
that there's a land far far away
that there's a land far far away

The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sit upon his throne, and He rules us all.

Look into the book of life, and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all

Satta a Massagana (Give thanks)
Ahamlack (to God)
Ulaghize (continually)

Ken Boothe
Everything I Own
You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, Set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Is all the years I had with you

And I would give anything I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know,
That won't let you go
And taking it all for granted
You may lose them one day,
Someone takes them away,
And you don't hear a word they say

And I would give anything I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
Just to talk to you, words again.

You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
but still you showed the way,
and I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
the part of me that can't let go.

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.

Problems
(H. Andy)
Don't let problems get you down
It will put you in a hole
Just have faith and remember God
He'll guide you along
With his heart and soul

Remember brothers and sisters
Problems a must
It comes and goes any time
So don't do wrong
Just have faith and
Trust in God

Those who saw the good seed
Shall surely reap
Plenty of food to eat
For their family
Eternally

Declaration Of Rights
Abyssinians
(Bernard Collins)
Look, oh Lord, they brought us down here
Have us in bondage, right through these hells/years (?)
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your rights my brothers
Get up and fight for your rights my sisters

Took us away from civilization
Brought us to slave in this big plantation
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worse here than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister

Took us away from civilization
Brought us to slave in this big plantation
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worse here than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister
Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister
Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister
