4.Famine

Lyricist:Frederick Hibbert

Well, I wake up early one morning
And I went down to Spanish Town
To look for a friend of mine
Who's called Seminaya

Then we started to have a little talk
About everything
About the situation
And this is what he said

He told me, â½Famine, famine, famine
Famine on the land
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, highâ

It's really so high, high, high
Sky high
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, high

So I went down to Old Harbour
To look for my brother John
To ask him how is life
And things and things and things

Oh, we started to have a little talk
About everything
About the situation
And this is what he said

He told me, â½Famine, famine, famine
Famine's on the land
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, highâ

It's really so high, high, high
Sky high
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, high

So I went down to Clarendon
To look for my family
To a little street called Treadlight
Is where I was born

Oh, and we started to have a little talk
Together, together
About the situation
And this is what they said

They told me, â½Famine, famine, famine
Famine on the land
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, highâ

It's really so high, high, high
Sky high
'Cause the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, high
