Old Timer Songtext
von Burning Spear

Old timer, do you remember, remember, remember
Old timer, all of us come from Africa
Old timer, do you remember, remember, remember
Old timer, all of us come from Africa

During the days of slavery
During the days of slavery
Some of us sent to east
Some of us sent to west
Some of us sent to north
Some of us sent to south

Old timer, do you remember, remember, remember
Old timer, all of us come from Africa
Old timer, do you remember, remember, remember
Old timer, all of us come from Africa
Old timer

Old timer, remember we chanting Rastafari
Old timer, remember we chanting His Majesty
Old timer, remember we chanting Marcus Garvey
Old timer, do you remember, remember, remember


Ethiopia is the backbone for Africa
Bring back His Majesty particulars
Ethiopia is the backbone for Africa
Bring back His Majesty particulars

Old timer, do you remember, remember, remember
Old timer, all of us come from Africa
Old timer, do you remember, remember, remember
Old timer, all of us come from Africa

Old timer, old timer
Repatriation and education rebel
Repatriation and education rebel
We declare to the world, Africa must be free
We declare to the world, Africa must be free

Ethiopia is the backbone for Africa
So bring back His Majesty particulars
Ethiopia is the backbone for Africa
So bring back His Majesty particulars

Old timer, do you remember, remember, remember
Old timer, all of us come from Africa
Old timer, do you remember, remember, remember
Old timer, all of us come from Africa
Old timer, old timer, old timer, old timer
