Toots & the Maytals - Careless Ethiopians


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Some are careless Ethiopians
Have gone astray
Some are careless Ethiopians
Have gone astray
Some are careless Ethiopians
Have gone astray
Ezekiel 30:9 - In that day shall messengers go forth
from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid,
and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt:
for, lo, it cometh.
They're calling upon hard times Christ in night and days
Praying for a God to come from outer space

Some are careless Ethiopians
Have gone astray, yeah
Some are careless Ethiopians
Have lost their way

Are you coming my way?
Are you coming my way?
I said, no matter what you do
You've gotta come my way
Yes, you've gotta come my way, come my way

Some are careless Ethiopians
Have gone astray
Some are careless Ethiopians
Have gone away
'Cause they know not where they're going
And have gone astray

They're calling upon hard times Christ in night and days
Praying for a God to come from outer space

[Repeat chorus and fade...]
