Bob Marley & The Wailers

The Heathen

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

Rise up fallen fighters;

Rise and take your stance again.

'Tis he who fight and run away

Live to fight another day.

With de heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

As a man sow, shall he reap

And I know that talk is cheap.

But the hotter the battle

A the sweeter Jah victory.

With de heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

Rise up, fallen fighters:

Rise and take your stance again.

'Tis he who fight and run away

Live to fight another day.

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!

De heathen back, yeah, 'pon de wall!

De heathen back dey 'pon de wall!
