Man In The Hills

Burning Spear

Come along my brother, come along

Let us do the thing we suppose to do for our mother

Come along my sisters, come along too

And if we should live up in-da, in-da, in-da, in-da, in-da, in-da



Live up in-da

(And if we should live up in the hills)

And if we should live up in the hills

(And if we should live up in the hills)

Live up in the hills, the hills

(And if we should live up in the hills)



My brother go, go to the river

To carry the water-a

The water

My sister wash up the dishes

She even goes to the shop

Bring in the groceries

When my smaller brother run around

And pick up the bramble to keep the fire blazing

To keep mama fire blazing

Blazing fire, fire



(And if we should live up in the hills)

And if we should live up in the hills

(And if we should live up in the hills)



My mother hard at work

Work my mother for the children

My mother hard at work

Work my mother for your children

My daddy is gone way over, far over

Working up the cultivation

Coming with food Daddy

Coming, Daddy come, come with food, come...



(And if we should live up in the hills)
