David

A mi name David

A mi name David,  Jessie last bwoy, 
A mi name David,  mi used to play di harp, 
A mi name David, di baddest ting around, 
A mi name David mi deserve the crown. 

A mi name David,  mi nuh tek nuh talk, 
A mi name David,  mi nuh want nuh war, 
A mi name David di one and only, 
A mi name David,  mi on the right path. 

A mi name David and Goliath mus fall, 
A mi name David di rula afta Saul, 
A mi name David,  Johnaton best friend, 
A mi name David,  mi neva have much fi spen'. 

A mi name David,  Saul Son - in-law,  
A mi name David mi on di run fi mi life, 
A mi name David and Saul soon fall, 
A mi name David listen wen mi talk. 

A mi name David di lickle sheephard bwoy, 
A mi name David,  Saul son-in-law, 
A mi name David di baddest ting around, 
A mi name David an mi mus wear di crown.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
