If you have a sistren an she come from country town Home training and manners She never know Grandfather say oh mammy say forward gal a mountain side Mek she go wash tuh Mek she go wash tub Don't mek she go to waste Don't mek she go to waste Don't let she stand and wait oh Don't mek she face disgrace Don't let she go to waste Don't let she go to waste If you have a sistren and she come from woodland home Irie spirit she has when she greets you It shows grandfather say Oh mammy say forward gal a mountain side dub her up a ital fall Dub her up a ital fall Chorus In a earth I would like the blessing to be on all the chlldren of Israel For the fear of Jah is the beginning of wisdom The sistren qone natty dread All a wear tall frok instead Chorus Cultural vibes are her saying A piece of silver don't strike her eye She say reality is so nice So take care women African ruby I mean that truly Come mek we forward down a river to go beat old clothes
