Famine

Famine - TOOTS/The Maytals

I wake up early one morning

Then I went down to Spanish Town

To look for a friend of mine who called seminaya

Then we started to have a little talk about everything

About the situation

And this is what he said

He told me famine famine famine

Famine on the land

I said the cost of living getting so high high high

Getting so high high high

I said the the cost of living getting so high high high

Then I trod down to Old Harbour to look for my brother John

To ask him how is life and things and things and things

Then we started to have a little talk about everything

About the situation

And this is what he said

He told me famine famine famine

Famine on the land

I said the cost of living getting so high high high

Really so high high high

So sky high

I said the situation is getting so high high high

Then I trod down to Clarendon to look for my family

Into a little district called Treadlight

That's where I was born

And we started to have a little talk together together

About the situation

And this is what they said

They told me famine famine famine

Famine on the land

I said the cost of living getting so high high high

Really so high high high

So sky high

I said this cost of living getting so high high high

Getting so high
