Waiting In Vain

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love I don't wanna wait in vain for your love From the very first time I blessed my eyes on you, girl My heart says, "Follow through." But I know now that I'm way down on your line But the waiting feel is fine

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string 'Cause I know how to do my thing

Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb I wanna know when you're gonna come

See, I don't wanna wait in vain for your love I don't wanna wait in vain for your love I don't wanna wait in vain for your love 'Cause it's summer is here I'm still waiting there Winter is here and I'm still waiting there Like I said, It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door And I still can knock some more

Ooh, girl, ooh, girl Is it feasible, I wanna know now For I to knock some more?

Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief But your love is my relief Tears in my eyes burn Tears in my eyes burn while I'm waiting While I'm waiting for my turn.

See, I don't wanna wait in vain for your love I don't wanna wait in vain for your love I don't wanna wait in vain for your love I don't wanna wait in vain for your love I don't wanna wait in vain for your love Oh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna, I don't wanna No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna, I don't wanna I don't wanna wait in vain.

It's your love that I'm waiting on It's my love that you're running from. (Repeat)

Redemption Song

Old pirates yes they rob I Sold I to the merchant ships Minutes after they took I from the bottom less pit But my hand was made strong By the hand of the almighty We forward in this generation triumphantly

Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom Cause all I ever had redemption songs, Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds Have no fear for atomic energy Cause none of them can stop the time How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look Yes, some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom Cause all I ever had, redemption songs, Redemption songs, redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds Have no fear for atomic energy Cause none of them can stop the time How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look Yes some say it's just part of it We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom Cause all I ever had, redemption songs All I ever had, redemption songs These songs of freedom, songs of freedom

No Woman, No Cry

No woman, no cry (Repeat 4 times)

'Cause I remember when we used to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites As they would mingle with the good people we meet Good friends we have had, oh good Friends we've lost along the way In this bright future you can't forget your past So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry No woman, no cry Little darlin' don't shed no tears No woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown And then Georgie would make the fire light Log wood burnin' through the night Then we would cook corn meal porridge Of which I'll share with you My feet is my only carriage So I've got to push on through But while I'm gone...

Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright So, no woman, no cry No, no woman, no woman, no cry Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears No woman, no cry

No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry No woman, no cry Oh, my little darlin' please don't shed no tears No woman, no cry, yeah

No woman, no woman, no cry
