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.
