Trench Town |
| (Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoo-doo; |
| Scoop, scoop wa-doo.) |
| Up a cane river to wash my dread; |
| Upon a rock I rest my head. |
| There I vision through the seas of oppression, oh-oo-wo! |
| Don’t make my life a prison. |
| We come from Trench Town, Trench Town (Trenchtown) — |
| Most of them come from Trench Town. |
| We free the people with music (sweet music); |
| Can we free the people with music (sweet music)? |
| Can we free our people with music? |
| — With music, |
| With music, oh music! |
| Oh-y, my head, |
| In desolate places we’ll find our bread, |
| And everyone see what’s taking place, oh-oo-wo! |

| We come from Trench Town, |
| Come from Trench Town; |
| We come from Trench Town. |
| Lord we free the people with music (sweet music); |
| We free the people with music (sweet music); |
| We free our people with music, |
| With music, oh music (oh music)! |
| They say it’s hard to speak; |
| They feel so strong to say we are weak; |
| But through the eyes the love of our people, oh-oo-wo! |
| They’ve got to repay. |
| We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town; |
| We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town; |
| Trench — Trench Town (Trenchtown). |
| They say, «Can anything good come out of Trench Town?» |
| (Trench — Trenchtown) |
| That’s what they say, (Trenchtown); |
| (Trench — Trenchtown) |
| Say (Trench — Trenchtown) we’re the underprivileged people, |
| So (Trenchtown) they keep us in chains: |
| «Pay (Trench — Trenchtown) — pay — pay tribute to -«(Trenchtown). |
| We come from (Trench — Trenchtown); |
| We come from (Trench — Trenchtown); |
| Just because we come from Trench Town. |
| Not because we come from Trench Town; |
| Just because we come from (Trenchtown) |
