Trench town

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/
