Toots & the Maytals - Never Get Weary Lyrics

Was down in the valley for a very long time
And I never get weary yet
I was down in the valley for a very long time
And I never get weary yet
I was born and raised in a little old shack with my poor family
I was born and raised in a little old shack with my poor family,
With my poor family...

(Chorus) I was born before Christopher Colombus, yeah
And I was born before the Arawok Indians
[Trying] creation, before this Nation
I always remember, I can't forget.. wowowow

I was walking on the shore when they took me on the ship
And they throw me overboard
And I swung right out of the belly of the whale
And I never get weary yet
They put me in jail and I did not do no wrong
And I never get weary yet
Say they put me in jail and I didn't get no bail
And I never get weary yet,
Never get weary yet...

(Repeat Chorus)
