Oh what a happening, oh what a pain in this slave ship, look what's going on
We have been robbed of our rights, and even my sister has been tricked
Oh where is the dignity and pride for our ladies
Oh it's a shame upon our race murder!
Still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart till now
Believe me what a pain
Still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart till now. mmmm
Can you imagine, the way the people felt traveling from home to Jamaica?
They traveled so very far, packed up in slave ships, I'm gonna name them for you
One called the Nina, one called the Pinta, the other the Santa Maria
Believe me when I say
Still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart till
Now Grand mother feel it. Still rest of my heart. still rest of my heart
Still rest of my heart till now
After hard days labor, they took my neighbor, place him down on his
Knees hear me now. And then this slave master, (yes) climb on his back
And mount upon his horse. That burns me to my heart
Still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart till
Now. Believe me when I say. Still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart
Still rest of my heart till now
When slave master eating and drink his wine, and beat my sister in drunkenness
Say that she's not working, she's getting sloppy
Yet my sister keep him clean. What ungrateful man
Still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart till now
My sister was tricked. Still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart, still
Rest of my heart till now
No education, no rest for the weary, all I can see is frustration, can you
Hear me when I say
Still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart till now
The agony and pain. Still rest of my heart, still rest of my heart, still
Rest of my heart till now. I forgive them lord but...
