Rest in peace professor

I just got a job working 7pm to 7am driving a forklift everyday and just discovered this song what are the odds. Thank you Rasta God’s.

Started doing the Night shifts after not doing it for years and this song came into my head especially the frist Line which is the line of one my favorite Psalm 121 " The sun shall not smite me day nor the moon by night " which I say everyday

Started working night shift this week for the first time ever. And this song came to mind...and been in my mind since then. Jah bless
Bbrother Bob.

Relajacion maxima

até meu filho dança. ..

For some reason this reminds of the Apple animoje commercial. Weird

There's positive vibration all up and down this album. I love the background female vocals on this one they're shining on this one.

One of my favorite albums of all time, track for track. Kaya is another one.

I.t.e.s...

Working on a night shift

With the Forklift

I my case a Switch Engine, Locomotive Diesel Electric behind what is now the SODO in Seattle. Kind the same really.

upfull and right

The sun shall not smite I by day,
Nor the moon by night;
And everything that I do
Shall be upfull and right.
And if it's all night,
It got to be all right!
If it's all night,
Got to be all right!

Your mamma won't lose this one;
You're the lucky one under the sun.
If you make me move,
Then you know you got the groove:
All night, it's all right!
All night, yeah! It's all right!

Working on a forklift
In the night shift;
Working on a night shift,
With the forklift,
from A.M. (Did you say that? Why did you say that?)
to P.M. (Working all night!)
Working on a night shift, yeah!
(Did you say that? Why did you say that? Upfull and right!)
Well, if it's (all night!) - if it's (all right!)
all night (all night!) -

Warehouse (all right!),
You're empty, yeah!
Go around the corner,
Bring your goods!
Go around the other corner,
Bring your suitcases. (All night!)
By the sweat of my brow, (All right!)
Eat your bread! (All night!)
By the sweat of my brow, (All right!)
Eat your bread!

All night (all night)! All right (all right)!
All night (all night)! All right (all right)!
Oh, yeah! (moon by night)
Why did you say that? Oh, yeah! (Upfull and right!)
Working on a night shift
With the forklift. (Moon by night!)
Working on the night shift,
Oh, yeah! (Upfull and right!)

The first two lines are from Psalms 121.

Thank for the Lyrics

'elpful

For all the graveyard shit workers out thers

all night all right.....

He wrote this song about when he worked in Delaware at the Chrysler plant running a forklift.I worked there in the early two thousands. .....He lived in my hometown of Wilmington, de.

I did not know that he worked in the states at all? Only caught on to his sound I believe early 70s still like it now. Which in my mind means if the sound endures over time it is good.

Yep he did. I live like right next to there. Its closed down now.

Yep all true. I prefer the Jamaican
Lee 'Scratch' Perry recorded version of this song called 'It's Alright'. Closer in time to when Bob actually wrote the song.

big tune

if you make me move, then you know you got the groove!!!!

yes construction work baby i always play marley on jobsites

retrokid1992 movin and groovin baby jammin in the name of the lord completed beautiful projects and making houses dreams come true with a lil bit of unity and good vibes brings clean money yeeee one lovee

psalm 121:6

I always loved that line

It's from a psalms out the Bible

Good memories of early 90s.
Thx so much for sharing the real hit!!!

An anthem for everyone who has spent many nights on a forklift! Blessed by the groove.

This song always makes me quite. Wisdom at hand.

What a KILLER groove! It just don't get no better than that. Jah Love, Bob.

+Bruce Boyers killer groove indeed good sir

Allnight

Just finished my night shift.....not too far from the Chrysler Plant Bob was singing about.  This song made me feel good.  Thanks!

Was this in Detroit?

+Vladimir Alvarez

Frank Blizzard yes indeed

I am due to a night shift and hearing bob singing night shift makes me smile. Come one Bob sing for me to encourage me and go through this one. May Jesus be with me, amen.

Feeling this too. Just came off the night shift.

+christine bahy thats what its for.

Did me I listened every night before work.

Yeshua sister Yeshua !

rebel music

All night!

the drummer and the bass player are brothers, Carlton and Aston Barrett

true.....they have given there musical expertise on many of a massive tracks with Jamaica's foundation Reggae music. a simple statement from you but a great bit of history within it. bless.

Family Man was such an awesome bass player.

I did not know that, honestly really tight in the best way

Just dope... The bassist and the drummer😍

this man really was the voice of the working class

all night ya

Great tune. It's about his experience working for the Crysler plant in Delaware.

very appropriate ...
"the sun shall not smite I by day
nor the moon by night"

This song refers to the year Bob spent at the Chrysler factory while living with his Mum in Delaware USA smoother than the original Its Allright with Tosh and Bunny

Original blows this out of the water

Beautiful song! RIP Bob

yeah man. the vibe in this song is great
