Well i say, oh

I said i'm leaving this babylon

it will not be too long, no

i said my people are starving
but your money's running
i said my people are starving
but your money's running
I say your dollar, dollar duck down real low
you ain't got no gold to show

and nothing ever gonna' change
my father just a sigh
her sisters just alive
and i ain't got nothing to claim
oh oh oh
Well i say

natty dread go away
natty dread leave today
yeah, yeah
