Trench Town Lyrics

[Bob Marley]

            (Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoo-doo;
             Scoop, scoop wa-doo.)
            Up a cane river to wash my dread;
            Upon a rock I rest my head.
            There I vision through the seas of oppression, oh-oo-wo!
            Don't make my life a prison.

            We come from Trench Town, Trench Town (Trenchtown) -
            Most of them come from Trench Town.
            We free the people with music (sweet music);
            Can we free the people with music (sweet music)?
            Can we free our people with music? - With music,
            With music, oh music!

            Oh-y, my head,
            In desolate places we'll find our bread,
            And everyone see what's taking place, oh-oo-wo! -
            Another page in history.

            We come from Trench Town,
            Come from Trench Town;
            We come from Trench Town.
            Lord we free the people with music (sweet music);
            We free the people with music (sweet music);
            We free our people with music,
            With music, oh music (oh music)!

            They say it's hard to speak;
            They feel so strong to say we are weak;
            But through the eyes the love of our people, oh-oo-wo!
            They've got to repay.

            We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town;
            We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town;
            Trench - Trench Town (Trenchtown).
            They say, "Can anything good come out of Trench Town?"
               (Trench - Trenchtown)
            That's what they say, (Trenchtown);  (Trench - Trenchtown)
            Say (Trench - Trenchtown) we're the underprivileged people,
            So (Trenchtown) they keep us in  chains:
            "Pay (Trench - Trenchtown) - pay - pay tribute to -" (Trenchtown).
            We come from (Trench - Trenchtown);
            We come from (Trench - Trenchtown);
            Just because we come from Trench Town.
            Not because we come from Trench Town;
            Just because we come from (Trenchtown).    /fadeout/
