Celebrating 50:Xx

A tell dem mark the day, mark it here well Mark it from Sprigfield, Flagstaff and Hopewell Mark it like fire in Mafoota bush, mark Shettlewood burning in slavery's hell. I hear the children crying in the spark I did not plan that, just a ringing bell If only I knew 'bout collateral Damage then, I just want them ring the bell Free men ought to plan their own funeral: So on yonder gallows put me to die And mark the spot where brave men for freedom Lie. We with Gentile ropes to crucify Are not afraid, nor deterred, this freedom From Negril to Morant Point shall ring And Africa's host their triumph's song shall sing.
