Bob Marley & The Wailers

Slave Driver

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!

Everytime 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)

Every time 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...
