lynch 329...cat stevens wrote this song about his 2 yr relationship with patti d,arbanville and also wrote my lady d,arbanville song about her,he didnt write it FOR jimmy cliff ,sorry, cliff however did release it and chart hit it b4 stevens released it himself on his tea for the tillerman album
@snakemanpete55 so where did Jimmy Cliff get the song from if he didn't write it? Cat you thief!!!! I find it hard to believe that you wrote this song.... after you left Deram Records and signed with "Island" record. A record company that notoriously steal Black people's ingenious songs and put a white face to it. Strangely , Jimmy Cliff's reggae version came out way before Cat's version but yet he claims originality....bunch of "ole pirates" I tell you... wikipedia is not facts...

This is the original, Cat Stevens wrote the song for Jimmy Cliff and later recorded his own version.
