Black Uhuru

Sistren

If you have a sistren an she

come from country town

Home training and manners

She never know

Grandfather say oh mammy

say forward gal a mountain side

Mek she go wash tuh

Mek she go wash tub

Don't mek she go to waste

Don't mek she go to waste

Don't let she stand and wait oh

Don't mek she face disgrace

Don't let she go to waste

Don't let she go to waste

If you have a sistren and she

come from woodland home

Irie spirit she has when she greets

you

It shows grandfather say

Oh mammy say forward gal a

mountain side dub her up a ital fall

Dub her up a ital fall

R:

In a earth I would like the blessing

to be on all the chlldren of Israel

For the fear of Jah is the

beginning of wisdom

The sistren qone natty dread

All a wear tall frok instead

R:

Cultural vibes are her saying

A piece of silver don't strike her eye

She say reality is so nice

So take care women

African ruby I mean that truly

Come mek we forward down

a river to go beat old clothes
