RED EYES
(Cecil Spence)
Na na na na na na …..Roots rock reggae…..rough rough reggae / Na na na na na na…..Ragga ragga reggae…..a roots rock reggae / We have this little island in the Carribean sea. / Land of wood and water and nuff ganja tree. / We play reggae…..roots rock reggae. / Reggae music is a ghetto music and a ghetto music is a rebel music. / It’s reggae…..rough rough reggae. / My eyes are red. / I can feel it from this crop of callie herb slappin in my head. / I’m in a mellow mood; / Sipping this pot of our brain food. / Found on the tomb of great king Solomon / This callie herb is the healing of the nation. / Red eyes….red eyes…./ Cause when the sun rise up on the mountain top. / Sets upon my callie crop. / That’s my brain food. I’m in a mellow mood. / From Negril point to Morant Bay, you can hear the reggae just a play; / Reggae in our bones…..
