Don't Worry Desmond Dekker

Lyrics

What happened up on Hemmingway well
 We will never change
 You used to be a friend of mine
 The last 5 years went by so fast
 So fast I find it strange
 The beneficial medicine of time
 And I (Ho ho), I can hear your laughter (Ho ho)
 It stays with me (Ho ho) after all this time
 And I (Ho ho), I still got your records (Ho ho)
 Clash and The Selecter (Ho ho)
 And don't worry Desmond Dekker's doin' fine
 ♪
 But doors were shut, the lines were cut
 The walls went up so quick
 The windows of opportunity were small
 Brides collapsed, divides were wide
 Sides we had to pick
 And oh yeah, I forgot to call
 I (Ho ho), I can hear laughter (Ho ho)
 It stays with me after (Ho ho) all this time
 And I (Ho ho), I still got your records (Ho ho)
 Clash and The Selecter (Ho ho)
 And don't worry Desmond Dekker's doin' fine
 ♪
 Seeds to the roots, to the trunk, to the truth
 It's understanding when it first began
 In the day up to the sky
 We climbed up so high
 And we carried on the only way we can
 Laugh on and live
 Learn how to forgive
 What we have could be as good as what we get
 If you forgot
 Now I am still gone
 What you gave to me, well, back when we first met
 What you gave to me, well, back when we first met
 I (Ho ho), I can hear laughter (Ho ho)
 It stays with me after (Ho ho) all this time
 And I (Ho ho), I still got your records (Ho ho)
 Clash and The Selecter (Ho ho)
 And don't worry Desmond Dekker's doin' fine
 And I (Ho ho), I still got your records (Ho ho)
 Clash and The Selecter (Ho ho)
 And don't worry Desmond Dekker's doin' fine
