Hey,
hey
Monday morning I've got to face the judge
They don't know me, but I hope they have some
love
Oh Lord, knowing it's my first offence
I'm sure they got no evidence
And so I trod with my conscience
Monday morning I have to see the judge
They don't know me, but I hope they have some
love
Oh Lord, knowing it's my first offence
I'm sure they've got no evidence
And so I trod with a clear conscience
The night before I could sleep to how I fret
Anticipating a veridict I haven't heard yet, oh
Lord, Lord
What if they decide to send I away
That would ruin my entire day
I better say a prayer
And beg Jah Jah, soften your honour's heart |
|
| Soft answers
turn away wrath |
Proverbs
15:1 - A soft answer turneth
away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. |
Monday morning
I have to face the judge
They don't know me, but I hope they got some love
Oh Lord, knowing it's my first offence
I know they have no evidence
And so I went with my conscience
Over yonder was woman I pickney |
|
| I was bound in
chains free they would not let me |
Psalm
68:6 - God setteth the solitary
in families: he bringeth out those which are
bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a
dry land. |
| Only Jah knew
my innocency |
|
| Your honour
have some mercy and pity on I |
Psalm
9:13 - Have mercy upon me, O
LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them
that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the
gates of death:
Psalm 30:10 -
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be
thou my helper. |
Only for
heaven's sake
One must learn to give and take
When I heard the one in charge say
Case postponed for another day
All skies above turned grey
I know now
Monday morning I have to face the judge
They don't know me, but I hope they have some
love
Oh Lord, knowing it is my first offence
I'm sure they've got no evidence
And so I trod with my conscience
Only Jah Jah know
Onlookers pass and those who wish us well
Will there be freedom, only time will tell
The bond they set was much too high to bail
Good God is this another night in jail
Then a friend came through
When I was expecting no one to
Then freedom came my way
And I was on the street the same day
Natty say yeah, watch deh
Deh pan street again
Natty say yeah, watch deh
Deh pan street again
Wha dah deh can't stop dem
Monday morning I have to face the judge... |
