Jacob Miller – 80,000 Careless Ethiopians Lyrics

Artist: Jacob Miller
Song: 80,000 Careless Ethiopians

〈Intro〉
Idren and sistren, sight up Jah Ras, Jah Rastafari
Even the childs on their mothers’ breasts
Are sighting up, are sighting up Jah Rastafari

〈Chorus〉
Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon
Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon
Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion

Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion
〈Verse 1〉
And it came to pass in the eleventh year
In the first month of the seventh day

The words of Jah came to us, saying
I shall say unto the north “Give up”
And to the south “Keep not back”
Send the chosen sons from afar

And his daughters from thе ends of the earth
〈Chorus〉
Eighty thousand carеless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon
Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon

Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion
〈Bridge〉
A living God, twenty-five thousand shall gather

Jah, almighty living God
〈Verse 2〉
And it came to pass in the eleventh year
In the first month of the seventh day

The words of Jah came to us, saying
I shall say unto the north “Give up”
And to the south “Keep not back”
Send the chosen sons from afar

And his daughters from the ends of the earth
You might also like〈Chorus〉
Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon
Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon

Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion
〈Outro〉
Oh, all the licks that I have received

I feel it all over me
Even the blind cannot see, it’s feeling the pressure from Babylon
Oh, I am feeling all the pain from Babylon licks that I have received all over
Their face so ugly, they look just like the devil in the deep blue sea

Oh Jah, Oh Jah, Oh Jah
