Poor Marcus

Johnny Clarke

[Intro]
Bag O' Wire and Mother Muschett sold Marcus Garvey
Bag O' Wire and Mother Muschett sold Marcus Garvey

[Chorus]
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus

[Verse 1]
Him own brethren sell him fi rice an' peas
Dem give 'way, dem give 'way, dem give 'way fi rice an' peas
Dem givе 'way like how Judas give 'way Christ
And they didn't know thеre'll be time like this
And now the human race is in such a squeeze
Men like Bag O' Wire should be burn in fire-fire
And woman like Mother Muschett should be stoned like Jezebel

[Chorus]
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Dem give 'way, dem give 'way, dem give 'way fi rice an' peas

[Verse 2]
It was she an' Bag O' Wire who gave away Garvey
And that's why they are nowhere around today

[Chorus]
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Dem give 'way, dem give 'way, dem give 'way fi rice an' peas

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Bag O' Wire an' Mother Muschett sold Marcus Garvey
Dem give 'way, dem give 'way, dem give 'way fi rice an' peas
Bag O' Wire and Mother Muschett sold Marcus Garvey
Dem give 'way, dem give 'way, dem give 'way fi rice an' peas
Men like Bag O' Wire should be burn in fire-fire
An' woman like Mother Muschett should be stoned like Jezebel

[Chorus]
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Dem give 'way, dem give 'way, dem give 'way fi rice an' peas

[Verse 4]
Mother Muschett an' Bag O' Wire end up livin' nowhere
Bag O' Wire close, was torn off like the stars in the sky

[Chorus]
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Dem give 'way, dem give 'way, dem give 'way fi rice an' peas
Poor Marcus Garvey
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Poor Marcus Garvey
Dem give 'way, dem give 'way, dem give 'way fi rice an' peas
