Jimmy Cliff - John Crow Lyrics


The eagle find him place in darkness
Fisherman find him place by the sea
Light up with that in Kingston town
Mi bredren know you [bad word] home without me

Ev'ry road have a bend, ev'ry wicked have an end 
What your [bad word] I know your body mus' feel
In this wicked, wicked war your time [bad word] You don't live right you will have no more fun

Jancro a go nyam your supper soon, boy
Jancro a go lead the children astray
Jancro a go meet the retribution
Justice has finally find it's way

Still, oh yes, you know that your time [bad word] You don't do right you gonna dead tonight
So now a go take you down the road to doom
The jancro a go nyam all your supper soon

Jancro a go nyam your supper soon, boy
Jancro a go lead the children astray
Jancro a go meet the retribution
Justice has finally find a way

Are you worried, says the wolf in sheep's clothing
Try to lead the children astray
But don't we know (?) a who fe frighten
take my hands I will show you the way

Jancro......Jancro
