The time is so hard
The time is so hard
The time is so hard

Coming from town, one Friday all alone
I was walking on a lonely road
Coming from town, one Friday all alone
I was walking on a lonely road

When Robber man said dem come
Shook me down to ground
You should me started to sing

Don't robber man nobody shoot me sir
"my mama sent me out, to buy some mutten"
...and he says to me
"Shut up boy, me no want hear nothing
We is a robber we no eat no mutten"
And i hope that ya pocket weight a different sumthing
And we even steal Selassie I button

Do Robber man want to rob me so
Do Robber man want to rob me so
