Poor Marcus Lyrics – Johnny Clarke

Poor Marcus Lyrics by Johnny Clarke

Bag O’ Wire and Mother Muschett sold Marcus Garvey
Bag O’ Wire and Mother Muschett sold Marcus Garvey
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus

Him own brethren sell him fi rice an’ peas
Dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh fi ricе an’ peas
Dem give ‘wеh like how Judas give ‘weh Christ
And they didn’t know there’ll be time like this

And now the human race is in such a squeeze
Men like Bag O’ Wire should be burn in fire-fire
And woman like Mother Muschett should be stoned like Jezebel
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus

Dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh fi rice an’ peas
It was she an’ Bag O’ Wire who gave away Garvey
And that’s why they unaware, a run to death
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus

Dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh fi rice an’ peas
Bag O’ Wire an’ Mother Muschett sold Marcus Garvey
Dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh fi rice an’ peas
Bag O’ Wire and Mother Muschett sold Marcus Garvey

Dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh fi rice an’ peas
Men like Bag O’ Wire should be burn in fire-fire
An’ woman like Mother Muschett should be stoned like Jezebel
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus

Dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh fi rice an’ peas
Mother Muschett an’ Bag O’ Wire end up livin’ nowhere
Bag O’ Wire close, was torn off like the stars in the sky
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus

Dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh fi rice an’ peas
Poor Marcus Garvey
Dem never love, never love, never love poor Marcus
Poor Marcus Garvey

Dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh, dem give ‘weh fi rice an’ peas
