Blackheart Man (Album Version) - Bunny Wailer

Written by：Neville O'Riley Livingston

Tikya the Blackbeard man children

I say don't go near him

Tikya the Blackbeard man children

For even lions fear him

Tikya the Blackbeard man children

I say don't go near him

Tikya the Blackbeard man children

For even lions fear him

Growing in a neighborhood for such along time

That is filled with fear

I can't go here can't go there

And I ain't supposed to go anywhere anywhere at all

When I ask my mom if she could let me

Let me go out and play

Like the children do

She said be careful of the stranger

Giving candies to children

And then take them away

He lives in the gullies of the city

He's the Blackbeard man the Blackbeard man

Even in the lonely parts of the country

He's the Blackbeard man Blackbeard man

He ain't go no friend no home no family

He's the Blackbeard man the Blackbeard man

He is famed to live just like the gypsy

He's the Blackbeard man

Growing and learning and gathering for myself a little more

Experience jumping over the fence

Curiosity has brought me yes it's brought me a little common sense

Trodding the road of life I've come to this one conclusion

That everything is equal under the sun all that is created by JAH mighty hand

And he said knock and it shall be opened

Seek and ye shall find that wisdom is found

In the simplest of places

In the nick of time knock and it shall be opened

Seek and ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places

In the nick of

Time and now I trod the same road of aflictions just like the

Blackbeard man just like the Blackbeard man

Getting my share of humiliation just like the Blackbeard man

Just like the Blackbeard man

You'll find me even in the prison of the dungeons

Just like the Blackbeard man the Blackbeard man

I even get blamed without a reason just like the Blackbeard man

Just like the Blackbeard man yau

No cross no crown no sorrow no laughter

Trial and crosses in a I way

But the hotter the battle is the sweeter JAH JAH victory

Ancient children use to say if you want good

Your nose got to run run run

How could the world go free and let JAH bear the cross alone

And them that drink of the old wine hath no place for the new

For the new and the stones that are head of the corner are the

Same one that the builders refused

Hear me when I say now

Now it's the Blackbeard man children

Who've become the wonder of the
