You tell me tuh forget dat my granmudah was born right here so All right I say I shall go yuh tell me tuh forget it is there I want my own children to grow All right I say I shall go But I hope yuh understan' how I feel 'bout Emmerton My home land my home land my home land An uh hope yuh know it's true dat I will nevuh fuhgive you Because looka looka wha yuh do to my Emmerton you tell me to fuhget dat yuh bring bull -dozers an push-down de houses so Alright I say I shall go
This song symbolizes so much. the words are powerful and truly brings forth emothions of a people that struggled and the generations that it has lost since then to the greed of the world- Thank you Gabby for this touching tribute....
you dont have to have lived there to interpret the song in a similar intention. i lived in the southern area of Christ church in silversands and we had family and friends in emmerton so the feeling is not as direct as those who were there but we too feel the pain and suffering.
this is a tribute to all bajan sufferahs... but unless you from chapmans lane ,you cant really overstan the true cultural meaning of this anthem.the family ties that bind us all not only by blood but by community,.de flooding of murphy pasture.the debby on the other side of the canal..miss simon and mr.worrel shop. godfadda motttley .no one who has ever experienced life in emmerton would ever call any other place home...who knows it feels it..rastafari

One of the GREATEST Barbadian revolutionary songs. At this time when our land onwership is a great question, this song should remind us of that.
