Got the news from a whispering tree
This is the time when man must be free
No more burning in vain
All we lose we´ll have to gain

Get ready, children, get ready, children, get ready, children

And listen

Didn´t i build the cabin?
Didn´t i plant the corn?
Didn´t my people before me slave in this country?

My sermon it was built for freedom
The Good Lord says Son you´re a free man
I´m gonna talk that freedom talk
Now let me see you walk that freedom walk

Better get ready, children please, Get ready, children please
Get ready, children
I tell you

Got the news from a whispering tree
Ah, this is the time man must be free
No, no, no, no, no more burning in vain
All we lose we´ll have to gain.

  • I prefer this over the Marley solo stuff IMMENSELY!!! SO raw, un-polished, pure, and beautiful. MUCH more sincerity. If I never hear "No Woman No Cry" or "One Love" ever again it will be fine with me. Leave that for the boarding school kids who just want to get high.

  • Actually , if u listen at the song "Crazy Baldheads" and notice the lyrics. You will find some sentences to be the same as in this old song :). Be careful with that old wailers single-record, they are so rare as it can get :) /bless! and ty for putting up this song on youtube
