BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS
1. Small Axe (Bob Marley)

(Upsetter, Single, 1971; CD: Grooving Kingston 12, 3 CD, JAD/Universal, 2004)

Why boasteth thyself, oh, evil men
Playing smart and not being clever, oh no
I say, you’re working iniquity
To achieve vanity, yeah (if a-so a-so)
But the goodness, of Jah Jah
I-dureth for-I-ver

If you are the big tree, we are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down (well sharp)
Ready to cut you down, oh, yeah

These are the words, of my master
Keep on tellin‘ me, oh oh
No weak heart shall prosper
Oh no they can’t, hey!
And whosoever diggeth a pit, Lord
Shall fall in it, shall fall in it
Whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, shall bury in it

If you are the big tree, we are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down
Ready to cut you down

(..)

And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, shall fall in it
(Hey!) Whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it (shall bury in it)

If you are the big tree, we have the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
Sharpened to cut you down

If you are the big tree, we are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
Sharpened to cut you down
