| It was dark, dark, dark
|
| In a big, big park
|
| I felt like a king upon de throne
|
| Me and Imelda liming alone
|
| When I heard a talk
|
| And a creeping walk
|
| As I look around frightfully
|
| I was in the center of the cemetery
|
| Yuh talk about run
|
| I nearly bus' meh head
|
| De livin' running from de dead
|
| A ghos' say, ‘Doh' run meh lad
|
| Come leh we play a game of cards'
|
| Well is now ah runnin' in truth
|
| Meh foot stick in a mango root
|
| Ah fall down inside a tomb
|
| Ah get up with a zoom-zoom-zoom
|
| What had me sad
|
| And really mad
|
| I was just about to start
|
| A little romance wit' meh sweetheart
|
| I kissed her twice
|
| Just feeling nice
|
| When a voice said ‘Mister yuh brave
|
| To be bringin' yuh girlfriend on top meh grave'
|
| Yuh talk about run
|
| I nearly bus' meh head
|
| De livin' running from de dead
|
| A ghos' say, ‘Doh' run meh lad
|
| Come leh we play a game of cards'
|
| Well is now ah runnin' in truth
|
| Meh foot stick in a mango root
|
| Ah fall down inside a tomb
|
| Ah get up with a zoom-zoom-zoom
|
| As ah reach de street
|
| A tall gentleman I meet
|
| I was feeling so happy
|
| To tell him of meh fright in de cemetery
|
| He said ‘I can understand
|
| You’re a wild young man
|
| But still you’re not to be blamed
|
| When I was alive I was just the same'
|
| Yuh talk about run
|
| I nearly bus' meh head
|
| De livin' running from de dead
|
| A ghos' say, ‘Doh' run meh lad
|
| Come leh we play a game of cards'
|
| Well is now ah runnin' in truth
|
| Meh foot stick in a mango root
|
| Ah fall down inside a tomb
|
| Ah get up with a zoom-zoom-zoom
|
| De scream I make
|
| Ah sure de whole world shake
|
| Ah now in big trouble
|
| ‘Cause ah sure ah see de Devil
|
| Ah see a big white horse
|
| On a big black cross
|
| As ah bawl out 'Oh Gorm ah dead'
|
| A voice say ‘Kitch, come go to bed'
|
| Yuh talk about run
|
| I nearly bus' meh head
|
| De livin' running from de dead
|
| A ghos' say, ‘Doh' run meh lad
|
| Come leh we play a game of cards'
|
| Well is now ah runnin' in truth
|
| Meh foot stick in a mango root
|
| Ah fall down inside a tomb
|
| Ah get up with a zoom-zoom-zoom |
