Desmond Dekker, The Aces все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

Counting the days 'til the ice turns green
You know when heaven and hell collide
There are no in-betweens

(I'm the yo-yo man)
Flames on your skin of snow turn cold
(Always up and down)
Cold is the wind that blows through my headstone

Get up Edina
Get up Edina, a let me tell you now
Get up Edina
Get up Edina, girl
I said to get up Edina
I said to get up Edina, girl

I send you a school, you won't learn

The hanging tree
The hanging tree
The hanging tree
The hanging tree

Who will mourn for you when you're gone?
Who will mind your kids when you're gone?
Who will pay our bills when you're gone?

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelites, ah
Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelite
My wife and my kids, they packed up and leave me
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen

Oh Lord, it's you

It pays, it pays
Every man, every woman
Every boy, every girl
Been this way down

To do good

Why, why, why, why Mother Pepper?
Why, why, why, Why Mother Pepper?

Haul up you mouth and give me pass, Mother Pepper
Haul up you mouth and give me pass Mother Pepper

Mother Pepper
Mother Pepper

Aaaahhhh

You think I never see you when you jump over de wall
You think I never see you when you accidentally fall
Me said a it mek, mek you pop your bitter gall
A it mek, while you accidentally fall
A it mek, hear she crying out for ice water

I reached out my arms and I touched you with soft words I whispered your name
I held you right on the tip of my fingers but that was as close as I came
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips yeelding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands but I let it slip right through my hands
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking and I should have known from the start
It's a long long way from the tip of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart to the love hidden deep in your heart
