Ask Jah:
Spent two years napping on a cow's back
My my how the time was so slack
Wild at heart just a boy at play

Seven years old time to get to work now
Milk pail , don't forget to feed the hogs now
And bring those eggs in on the way

Eight years old throwing hay bales now
Feed the horses and don't you be late now
There's a school bus on the way

Nine years old , me and old Drifter
A wise horse , man he couldn't have been swifter
And how those miles would roll away

Ten years old working like a man now
Lord knows I had to stay alive somehow
Praying for a brighter day

And there'll be times
There'll be sweeter times
I thought I heard the Angel say

Close your eyes
Get some sleep tonight
My own dear Son is on his way

Spent two years living like a hermit
Just listening to Old Man River
Just to hear what he might say

Spent two years searching for the Sunshine
And my my how my soul felt so light
The day those clouds rolled away

And there'll be times
There'll be sweeter times
I thought I heard the Angel say

Close your eyes
Get some sleep tonight
My own dear Son is on his way
