Blackheart Man Lyrics - Singles - Bunny Wailer

Tikya the Blackheart Man, children 

I say, don't go near him 

Tikya the Blackheart Man children 

For even lions fear him (repeat) 

Growing in a neighbourhood 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 

When I ask my Mom if she could let me go out and play 

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 Blackheart Man (The blackheart Man) 

Even in the lonely parts of the country 

He's the Blackheart Man, Blackheart Man 

Got no friend, no home, no family 

He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man 

He is famed to live just like the Gypsy 

He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man 

Growing and learning and gathering, for myself a little more 

experience jumping over the fence 

Curiousity 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 createdby 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 

Blackheart Man, just like the Blackheart Man 

Getting my share of humiliation just like the Blackheart Man 

Just like the Blackheart Man 

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

just like the Blackheart Man, just like the the Blackheart Man 

I even get blamed without a reason just like the Blackheart Man 

Just like the Blackheart man yau 

No cross, no crown, no sorrow, no 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 

Now, it's the Blackheart Man, children 

Who've become the wonder of the city (rep).
