The Harder They Come
Jimmy Cliff

(Jimmy Cliff)


Oh yeah, but oh yeah, oh yeah, alright


Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky

Waiting for me when I die

But between the day you're born and when you die

They never seem to hear even your cry


So as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine

And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all


Well, the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down

Tryin' to drive me underground

And they think that they have got the battle won

I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done


Cause as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine

And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all


Oh yeah, well oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah


But I'll keep on fighting for the things I want

Though I know that when you're dead you can't

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Then living as a puppet or a slave


So as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share right now of what's mine

And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all

Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all

(Wanna say now, wanna say now - oh

Wanna say now, wanna say one more time)

Yeah, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all.....


From 'The Harder They Come' (soundtrack, 1972)
