Then I went down to Spanish Town,
To look for a friend of mine,
Who called Seminaya.
Then we started to have a little talk,
About everything, about the situation,
And this is what he said:
He told me famine, famine, famine,
Famine on the land.
I said the cost of living,
Getting so high, high, high.
Really so high, high, high.
So sky high!
I said the situation,
Is getting so high, high, high.
Then I trod down to Old Harbour,
To look for my brother John.
To ask him, how is life,
And things and things and things.
Then we started to have a little talk,
About everything, about the situation,
And this is what he said:
He told me famine, famine, famine,
Famine on the land.
I said the cost of living,
Getting so high, high, high.
Really so high, high, high.
So sky high!
I said the situation,
Is getting so high, high, high.
Then I trod down to Clarendon,
To look for my family.
Into a little street called Train Line,
That's where I was born.
And we started to have a little talk,
Together, together, about the situation,
And this is what they said:
Famine on the land.
I said the cost of living,
Getting so high, high, high.
Really so high, high, high.
So sky high!
I said this cost of living,
Getting so high, high, high,
(..)
Getting so high.
