Slave Driver (Jamaican Extended Version / 2023) Songtext
von Bob Marley & The Wailers

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, 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, we′re gonna get burn (catch a fire) oh, now

Every time 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 now (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 now (catch a fire)
Ah, catch a fire, so you can get burn now (catch a fire)

Every time I hear the crack of a whip, my blood runs cold
I remember on the slave ship, how they brutalize the very soul
Ooh, ooh (oh God, have mercy on our souls), ooh, ooh

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, so you can get burned (catch a fire)
Slave driver, come and short catch, the table is turn (catch a fire)
