If you miss the train Im on, then youll know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles (4) you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord Im onetwothreefourfive hundred miles away from home
Away from home (4) lord Im five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back. Not a penny to my name.
Lord I cant go back home this a-way
This a-way (4) lord I cant go back home this a-way
5) Jamaica Farwell
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop
But Im sad to say, Im on my way
Wont be back for many a day
Me heart is down, me head is turning round
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackee rice salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine, any time of the year
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare that me heart is there
Though Ive been from maim to mexico
8) One by one
As the world was turning, long ago way back in time
Not a star was burning, only darkness filled the sky
Then the land was covered by the sun
Flowers started growing one by one. One by one
One by one came the leaves to the trees
One by one came the waves upon the seas
Came the Man and his wife, life had begun
They were blessed with little children on by one
Everyone a brother joining hands in song of praise
Helping one another, through the dawning of the age
Soon the bonds of friendship were undone
Fighting for their places in the sun. On by one
(Chorus)
How many years must a mountain exist,
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many years must some people exist,
Before theyre allowed to be free?
How many times must a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesnt see?
(Chorus)
When the sun shines on the mountain and the night is on the run.
Its a new day, its a new way. As I fly up to the sun.
I can see the morning sunlight. I can smell the new born hay.
I can hear Gods voices calling. From the golden starlight way
Una Paloma Blanca. Im just a bird in the sky
Una Paloma Blanca. Over the mountains I fly
no one can take my freedom away
no one can take my freedom away
Once I had my share of loosing, as they locked me on a chain
Yes! They tried to take my power. Oh! I still can feel the pain
12) Matilda

Five hundred dollars friends I lost
What made me sell me cat and horse
Heya! Matilda she take me money and run Venezuela Matilda,

Well de money was just inside me bed
Stuck-up in de pillow beneath me head
Heya! Matilda she take me money and run Venezuela

Well my friends, never to love again
All me money gone in vain
Heya! Matilda she take me money and run Venezuela
Matilda, matilda, matilda
She take me money and run Venezuela (2)
