Blackheart Man Lyrics

Bunny Wailer

Tikya the Blackheart Man, children,
I say, don't go near him,
Tikya the Blackheart Man children,
For even lions fear him.

Tikya the Blackheart Man, children,
I say, don't go near him,
Tikya the Blackheart Man children,
For even lions fear him.

Growing in a neighbourhood, for such along time,
That is filled with fear.
I can't go here, can't go there,
And I ain't supposed to go anywhere. (anywhere at all)
When I ask my mom if she could let me, go out and play,
Like the children do,
She said be careful of the stranger,
Giving candies to children,
And then take them away, yeah.

He lives in the gullies of the city,
He's the Blackheart Man ya. (The blackheart Man)

Even in the lonely parts of the country,
He's the Blackheart Man ya, Blackheart Man.
He ain't got no friend, no home, no family,
He's the Blackheart Man, that's the Blackheart Man,
He is famed to live just like the Gypsy,
He's the Blackheart Man, yeah.

Growing and learning and gathering, for myself,
A little more experience jumping over the fence,
Curiousity has brought me, yes it's brought me, a little common-sense yeah.
Trodding the road of life, I've come to, this one conclusion,
That everything is equal under the sun, all that is created by Jah mighty hand yeah.
And he said knock and it shall be opened,
Seek and ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places,
In the nick of time, knock and it shall be opened,
Seek and ye shall find, wisdom is found in the simplest of places,
In the nick of time,
And now I trod the same road of aflictions,
Just like the Blackheart Man, just like the Blackheart Man,
Getting my share of humiliation, just like the Blackheart Man, (the Blackheart Man)
You'll find me even in the prison of the dungeons,
just like the Blackheart Man yes, the the Blackheart Man,
I even get blamed without a reason, just like the Blackheart Man,
Just like the Blackheart man yau.

No cross, no crown, no sorrow, no laughter, trial and crosses In-a-I way.
But the hotter the battle, is the sweeter, Jah Jah victory, oh weh.
Ancient children use to say if you want good,
Your nose got to run run run,
How could the world go free, and let Jah bear the cross alone,
And them that drink of the old wine, hath no place, for the new.
For the new, and the stones that are head of the corner are the same ones,
That the builders refused.
Hear me when I say now,
It's the Blackheart Man, children.
