Bob Marley: lyrics - songteksten

One Cup Of Coffee

One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
Though I just dropped by to let you know
That I'm leaving you tomorrow;
I'll cause you no more sorrow:
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.

I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go.

Tell the kids I came last night
And kissed them while they slept;
Make my coffee sweet and warm
Just the way you used to lie in my arms.

I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.

Feel it in the one drop
Well, I still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
The generation gap
So feel this drumbeat
As it beats within playing a rhythm
Resisting against the system

Ooh-we I know Jah would never let us down
Pull your rights from wrong
I know Jah would never let us down
Oh no! Oh no!

They made their world so hard
Every day we got to keep on fighting
They made their world so hard
Every day the people are dying
It dread, dread for hunger and
starvation dread dread, dread on dread
Lamentation dread dread
But read it in Revelation dread dread
You'll find your redemption

And then you
Give us the teachings of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
A you fe give us the teaching of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy

Feel it in the one drop
And we still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
And we filling the gap
So feel this drubeat
As it beats within playing a rhythm
Fighting against ism and skism

Singing I know Jah would never let us down
Pull your rights from wrong
I know Jah would never let us down
Oh no! Oh no!

They made their world so hard
Every day we got to keep on fighting
They made their world so hard
Every day the people are dying

It dread, it dread, it dread
Dread dread, what can I say, it dread
It dread on dread, dread, dread

Feel you heart playing a rhythm
And you know it's resisting against ism and skism
Singing I know Jah would never let us down
