Maytals – Never Get Weary lyrics

I was down in the valley for a very long time but I never get weary yet
I was down in the vallery for a very long time, but I never get weary yet
I was born and raised in a little old shack with my poor family
I was born and raised in a little old shack with my poor family
With my poor family
I was from before Christopher Columbus
And I was born before the Arawak Indians
Trod in creation
Before this nation
I'll always remember
I can't forget
I was walking on the shore and they took me in the ship and they threw me overboard
And I swam right out of the belly of the whale and I never get weary yet
Say they put me in jail and I didn't get no bail and I never get weary yet
Never get weary yet
I was from before Christopher Columbus
And I was born before the Arawak Indians
Trod in creation
Before this nation
I'll always remember
I can't forget
