Lyrics Old King Cole - Sugar Minott

Old King Cole

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
But Old King Cole lost all his gold
And now he’s crying, you see
Don’t put your trust in vanity for it will let you down
Don’t put your trust in vanity for you’ll be underground
Like, Humpty Dumpty sat upon the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All of his friends, and the money they spent
Couldn’t put Humpty together again
Don’t put your trust in vanity
For only Jah can help you and set you free
Little Miss Mary, you’re quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells
And all too and fro
Vanity
A vanity
Spoiling humanity
Vanity
It is easier for a camel…
To go into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of zion
Vanity
A pure vanity
Spoiling
Spoiling… humanity
It is easier for a camel…
To go into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of zion
Jack and Jill went up that hill
To rob the dreadlocks of his skill
Gently went down and broke their crown
And now they are under the ground
Don’t put your trust in vanity for it will let you down
A pure vanity
Spoiling
Spoiling.humanity
It is easier for a camel…
To go into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of zion
Jack and Jill went up that hill
To rob the dreadlocks of his skill
Gently went down and broke their crown
And now they are under the ground
Don’t put your trust in vanity for it will let you down
Don’t put your trust in vanity for you’ll be underground
Vanity
A vanity
Spoiling humanity
A vanity
Pure red eye in this time
A vanity
