Показать описание

Great song by The Heptones recorded by Lee Perry in the glorious Black Ark studio, Jamaica, in 1977. Not included in their classic "Party Time" LP from 1976. Credits written on the label include Bob Andy (Anderson) as writer of the song. What a team! Enjoy it!!!!

Mystery Babylon, mystery Babylon
Mystery Babylon, mystery Babylon
I know your scheme, I know your plan
Can't never hold a Rastaman
Can't never hold a Rastaman

Now you come and give the children wine
Intoxicate their mind (their minds, their minds)
When the wine is in the wit, is out
Rasta, don't drink wine

Mystery Babylon, mystery Babylon
I know your scheme, I know your plan
Can't never hold a Rastaman
Can't never hold a Rastaman

Now you come and give the children wine
Intoxicate their mind (their minds, their minds)
When the wine is in the wit, is out
Rasta don't drink wine

Mystery Babylon, mystery Babylon
I know your scheme (Babylon!)

(..)

In an hour, you'll discover
You will be burning in hells fire (fire, fire)
Can't hold a Rastaman

Now you come and give the children wine
To intoxicate their mind (their minds, their minds)
When the wine is in the wit, is out
Rasta, don't drink wine (don't drink wine, wine!)

Mystery Babylon (Babylon) mystery Babylon
I know your scheme, I know your plan
Can't never hold a Rastaman
Can't never hold a Rastaman..
