Poor Old Man

Say, there were lonely a man even than before...

Shooba, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

There was once an old man, who lived all alone

All through out his life, no happiness have he had known

Now with tears in his eyes, he watches as folks passes by

Walking hand in hand with love

Walking hand in hand with love

Now said, I read a letter, poor old woman say

Trying to express how much she needed help

Her loneliness, no sweet caress

No tenderness, she needed some help

Babe, young, the elderly they all want love

Good loviduby mi say kiss and hug

That fill up the cup, mi say dat full di the mug

Overflow to the brim, mi say, like water jug

Woman dem a bubble up, need a little cuddle up

Nah tek nuh fubble up, hardcore a double up

Anywhere we go dancehall a fi nice up

When this one play feel it, yeah

It's the order of the day, you can't deny it, no way

When dis one play, you feel it, yeah

When will they meet? Poor old woman say

When will they greet? Poor old woman say

Her loneliness is the message that she sends

And all she need is one good faithfull friend

That will make her smile again

Throughout her life there is nothing but misery

Upstairs and downstairs, roller coaster tragedy

All kind a things, mi say none she never fancy

When yu chek it out, it was all topsy turvey

Gwan Buju Banton yu pattern is ever irie

Anywhere you go dem call yu Mr. Mark Myrie

And when they're having problems

They think that we can solve them

Who they're having problems

They think that we can solve them

She cried, help me please, poor old woman say

Some company, poor old woman say

In sympathy, she asked me for some help

To find some one to share her loneliness

She said, she can't go on like this

There was once an old man, who lived all alone

All through out his life, no happiness have he had known

Now with tears in his eyes, he watches as folks passes by

Walking hand in hand with love

Walking hand in hand with love

Such loneliness, poor old woman say

Nah, can't forget, poor old woman say

In sympathy, she asked me for some help

To find some one to share her loneliness

She said, she needs something better than this...
