It was saintmas(?) in the east

There some bearded men keep a big feast

Three bag a rice and a big black sole(?)

Three bag a wheat were prepared for the feast



They never run, they never run

They never run when police men come, no

They never run, they never run

They never run when police men come



But them haffi run, them haffi run

Them haffi run when soldier man a come, yeah

Them haffi run, them haffi run

Them haffi run when soldier man a come



Greatest disaster of this big feast

None o' dem never tasting wheat

Cause when dem hear batton stick a talk

Dem run an' tear down banana walk, yeah



Them haffi run, them haffi run

Them haffi run when soldier man a come, yeah

Them haffi run, them haffi run

Them haffi run when soldier man a come



Them never run, them never run

Them never run when police men come

But them haffi run, them haffi run

Them haffi run when soldier man a come, yeah!
