Jimmy Cliff John Crow Lyrics

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 a come home without me


Ev'ry road have a bend, ev'ry wicked have an end

What your hands commit I know your body mus' feel

In this wicked, wicked war your time has come

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 has come

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
