Slave Driver Lyrics

[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 ...                      /fadeout/
