Emmerton Lyrics

You tell me tuh forget
dat my granmudah was born right here so
All right I say I shall go
yuh tell me tuh forget
it is there
I want my own children to grow
All right I say I shall go
But I hope yuh understan'
how I feel
'bout Emmerton
My home land my home land my home land
An uh hope yuh know it's true
dat I will nevuh fuhgive you

Because looka looka wha yuh do
to my Emmerton
you tell me to fuhget
dat yuh bring bull
-dozers an push-down de houses so
Alright I say I shall go
yuh tell me tuh fuhget
yuh bring bull
-dozers an push-down de houses so
Alright I say I shall go
yuh tell me tuh fuhget
dat yu uproot my people
an' scattah dem to an 'fro
Alright I say I shall go
yuh tell me tuh fuhget
dat yu did dem wrong things an
didn't let my children know
Alright I say I shall go
Alright I say I shall go
Alright I say I shall go
Alright I say I shall go
