Songtext Poor old man Buju Banton

Poor old man

Say, there were lonely a man even than before...
Shooba, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

There was once an old man, who lived all alone
All through out his life, no happiness have he had known
Now with tears in his eyes, he watches as folks passes by
Walking hand in hand with love
Walking hand in hand with love

Now said, I read a letter, poor old woman say
Trying to express how much she needed help
Her loneliness, no sweet caress
No tenderness, she needed some help

Babe, young, the elderly they all want love
Good loviduby mi say kiss and hug
That fill up the cup, mi say dat full di the mug
Overflow to the brim, mi say, like water jug
Woman dem a bubble up, need a little cuddle up
Nah tek nuh fubble up, hardcore a double up
Anywhere we go dancehall a fi nice up
When this one play feel it, yeah
It's the order of the day, you can't deny it, no way
When dis one play, you feel it, yeah

When will they meet? Poor old woman say
When will they greet? Poor old woman say
Her loneliness is the message that she sends
And all she need is one good faithfull friend
That will make her smile again

Throughout her life there is nothing but misery
Upstairs and downstairs, roller coaster tragedy
All kind a things, mi say none she never fancy
When yu chek it out, it was all topsy turvey
Gwan Buju Banton yu pattern is ever irie
Anywhere you go dem call yu Mr. Mark Myrie
And when they're having problems
They think that we can solve them
Who they're having problems
They think that we can solve them

She cried, help me please, poor old woman say
Some company, poor old woman say
In sympathy, she asked me for some help
To find some one to share her loneliness
She said, she can't go on like this

There was once an old man, who lived all alone
All through out his life, no happiness have he had known
Now with tears in his eyes, he watches as folks passes by
Walking hand in hand with love
Walking hand in hand with love

Such loneliness, poor old woman say
Nah, can't forget, poor old woman say
In sympathy, she asked me for some help
To find some one to share her loneliness
She said, she needs something better than this...
