Moses Children Lyrics - Singles - Bunny Wailer

Tell them tell them, 

Tell them the reason why you crying children 

Tell them, tell them tell them the 

Reason why you shed those tears 

(rep.) 

If I never did right or if I 

ever did wrong, wrong, wrong, 

It's because situation arise 

Where things don't seem to belong 

Trial and crosses are always 

Before me thorns and prickles 

in-a my way, my way, my way, 

With the task-master always 

Behind me, waiting for a chance 

To take my life away. 

And my burdens, they're getting 

Heavy and heavier every day 

My burdens, I'm like one who 

Labours without no pay 

My burdens sweating like a slave to live another day 

My burdens, if I didn't follow my 

Mind I would be gone astray. 

For silver and gold have I none have I none 

Silver and Gold have I none have I none 

Silver, silver, silver and Gold have I none, have I none 

Silver and gold have I none have I none. 

So wont you tell them tell them 

Tell them the reason why you crying children. 

Tell them, tell them, tell them the 

Reason why you shed those tears 

(rep.) 

Working round the clock and obeying 

The gong is like the weak who's 

Got to feed the strong 

I got to carry my load like a 

Child of Israel battering and 

Dragging along, along, along. 

Blessed is the man who keepeth 

his faith, and hope for the 

day of his great Redemption 

to get away from grief and hate 

And into the joys of the sweet liberations. 

Slave driver, dry bone crying in the wilderness 

Slave driver, only muscle and blood can stand the test (rep.) 

Moses Children I know was 

In shadows of death the shadows a death 

But Moses Children, they rose from strength to strength. (rep.)
