Willie Red

One thing about music will make you feel
No pain that you'll want to play
For Nicodemus is my name (Do it, Jah)

Mi say, mi know a likkle youth by
Di name of Willie Red
Mi know a likkle youth by
Di name of Willie Red
Him never stop chuck it 'til they
Full him up a lead
Him mother start bawl with her
Hand pon her head
Talk 'bout her one son dead
For, dem a talk 'bout her one son dead
(Well, watch out, man-a)

Him learn how to steal an'
