Only Dread can come over
Babylon them a weeping and a mourning
Weeping, and a mourning, Lord
Babylon them a weeping and a mourning
Weeping, and a mourning

Because dem badda dem a drop out
And them no love to come over
Only Dread can come over
Babylon can't get over, no

So whip them Jah Jah, Jah Jah whip them, Lord
Whip them Jah Jah, Jah Jah whip them
Whip them Jah Jah, Jah Jah whip them, Lord
Whip them Jah Jah, Jah Jah whip them

The Dread dem a dread it
And the Locks dem a watch it

And the daughter them love it

And now the weakheart dem a scatter
And the Dread dem a satta
'Cause the Dread dem know better

Whip them Jah Jah, Jah Jah whip them
Whip them Jah Jah, Jah Jah whip them, Lord
Whip them Jah Jah, Jah Jah whip them

Only Dread can come over
Babylon can't get over, no, no

And the Locks dem a watch it

And the daughter them love it

And now the weakheart dem a scatter
And the Dread dem a satta
'Cause the Dread dem know better

Whip them Jah Jah, Jah Jah whip them, Lord
Whip them Jah Jah, Jah Jah whip them..
