Tribute To Garnett Silk |
| Now people always say that the good die young |
| And we lost another one a' Selassie I’s son |
| But, although him body might ha' gone |
| Garnett’s spirit and music |
| Will always live on |
| So if you love Garnett Silk |
| You put you hand hand inna di air |
| He gave a lotta people happiness and cheer |
| But Garnett Silk is no longer here |
| Cut off in the prime of a brilliant career |
| Him sing about long and cultural things |
| Him sing about the emperor Selassie I the king |
| Him sing with so much power and so much feeling |
| Him buss 'round the scene like a steam engine |
| Rasta everybody love him |
