Unearthed box set - CD3 Redemption Songs (2003) - track n° 3
Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships.
Minutes after they took I,
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong,
By the hand of the All Mighty.
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?
Some say it's just a part of it,
We've got to fullfil the book.
So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had,
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs.

If anyone's interested, I'm selling the Cash Unearthed box set on eBay right now with a bargain starting price of £9.99!

The only reason that i still throw on a bob marley tee shirt and listen to bob is because music is one of the only thing thats real these days.
And bob keeps it real. Love and peace.

I totally agree with the most recent poster (though hey mon, your screen name is a bit scary!). This is a lovely version of a lovely song, message perfect as a tribute to Dr. King. Too bad that the message still remains relevant in our violent world. Solidarity & Peace.

perfect song to play on mlk day

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't tap into the monumental emotional feeling that this cover ignites. Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer singing a Bob Marley song...holy fucking shit!
