Drunkard Psalm lyrics with English Translations
Words of wisdom cometh from the wise man
Wise man says: This is the Drunkard Psalm
To the inspiration of I, Prince Buster
Rum is their Shepherd and they live in want Psalm 23:1 It maketh them to lie down in the gutter on an empty stomach And vomit up some green things they did not eat Psalm 23:2 It has anointed their income with outcome It leadeth them in the path of destruction for its proof's sake Psalm 23:3
Yea, though they walk through the streets of Kingston They're as hungry as hell, and they do fear evil For they cannot see Psalm 23:4
It prepares disaster before them in front of their friends And, for a long time, it has anointed their head with blood Their veins run dry Psalm 23:5
Surely man, surely, surely as the sun riseth Poverty and hunger shall follow them all the days of their life And they shall fight with the landlord forever Psalm 23:6
I gave you the Ten Commandments Exodus 34:27-28 But your Ten Commandments cannot be kept Unless you set an example for your woman-kind Thou shalt not drink the rum It's for destruction
This is the Drunkard Psalm Keep it set in your mind And you'll have a good clean liver
Words from the wise man Words from the wise man Wisdom cometh from the wise man Take heed to the wisdom of the wise man Proverbs 13:20

Words from the wise man Words from the wise man Wisdom cometh from the wise man Take heed to the wisdom of the wise man Proverbs 13:20
