Wanted Dread and Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Said I'm wanted, dread & alive
By the evil forces
Said I'm wanted, dread & alive
Nowhere to hide
They are trying to find me
CHORUS
Babylon charge I for ganja
Which I know couldn't do
How could one man Gang Jah
Must be an ape from the zoo
CHORUS
I've been accused for a shootin'
Which I know never do
Who dem in prison that willing dey
So I've got to pull my way through
CHORUS
Yesterday was court day
And I-Man forget to go
Today my name is in my papers
And next warrant they will show
CHORUS
Now I've got to
Judge two guns
To protect myself from men
'Cause I've never done nothin' wrong
And I hate traveling scared
CHORUS
