SLAVE DRIVER

(Bob Marley)

 

Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh.   Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-ooh.
Slave driver, the table is turn;  (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn;  (catch a fire)
Catch a fire: gonna get burn.  (catch a fire)  Wo, now!

Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very souls.
Today they say that we are free,
Only to be chained in poverty.
Good God, I think it's illiteracy;
It's only a machine that makes money.
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all.  Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh.

Slave driver, uh!   The table is turn, baby, now; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, baby, now.  (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire: so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)

Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very soul.

O God, have mercy on our souls!
Oh, slave driver, the table is turn, y'all;  (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn.   (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire ...
