Jimmy Cliff - House Of Exile Lyrics

Dear Jimmy, the Liberian people love you. You are the greatest.

Here’s to my friends Don Greco, Don Solozo, Don Clemenza and Don Tartaglia wherever you are. We used to groove to this masterpiece with Guinness, weed and black lights. Good times...signed Don Torres

Nostalgic! The time when music was a 'calling'....

King of kings bless jimmy cliff

Any time i listing to this music l have to think the last day and the day of judgments

So much love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ to you Jimmy

This is one of my favorite songs and musicians. Long live Jimmy cliff

This is 2020 and this song is still a hit. Looks like it is going to be evergreen.

There's a day of feasting and a day of famine
Day of sadness and a day of joy
You could see in the day of feasting
Life isn't just a little play-like toy
So your day arrived when you least expected
'Cause you always thought you were well protected
Now you feel like a fish out of water
So now you're wondering what's the matter
Oh remember you said it wouldn't happen to you
Now you're thinking how to start a new
A drowning man will catch at a straw
You were warned but you wouldn't take heed
Everything in creation must obey a law
It's true in words as it is in deed
You were so puffed up in your pomps and pride
You're exposed you got none to hide
Yes, you used to look down on the folks beside you
Never they think you would have come down too
Remember they said you got to reap what you sow
Simple truth everybody know
Oh what are you on a house of exile
Watching you now on your own last mile
Oh what are you on a house of exile
Watching you now on your own last mile
Oh what are you on a house of exile
Watching you now on your own last mile
Oh what are you on a house of exile
Watching you now on your own last mile
Everything in creation must obey a law
It's true in words as it is in deed
Auteurs-compositeurs : JIMMY CLIFF

Reminds me of my late brother ( Habofanwe Borena Ba mokotedi, Jerry) R.I.P

I dedicate this song to the corrupt ruling class of my beloved country of Kenya. Keep raping poor helpless Kenya, but remember one day karma will catch up with you.

A true to life songwriter who reveal true to life day to day issues of life 🎻🎼🎵all your songs has a message man

💥C’est l’une de mes meilleures chansons dans la vie. Je garde jalousement ce disque at home. Quelle jeunesse j’ai eue avec Jimmy💓💓💓🌹🌹🌹

When I hear this song, I think about my caring and loving mother

Michael Saye Wehdah Sr myself too

Super Jimmy cliff

Jimmy cliff can be describe as a maestro in reggae music

One of my favorite artists. Jimmy Cliff I love and miss you

I love all his songs

A living legend he is...
Meaningful lyrics, not all these noises we listen to these days...

Great guy. Reminds me of top government officials who end up in jails. Hahahahaha! House of exile.

this is a very comforting piece of music by this man i really like him

pas de commentaires. magnifique tout simplement.

Jimmy C you filled my childhood life with incredible music composition, tunes, and human messages! God bless...

A song I have always listen to

JGB, Jerry Garcia's band was 💯%inspired by our graet rag man, Mr,.Cliff, I really miss Jerry

One of the best music writers of all time

Beautiful, dear Cliff-ness of the Jimmy kind ... just beautiful !!! And from here, ye prompteth us to goeth unto Lucky Dube's "HOUSE OF EXILE". One good turn deserveth another !!!

Dear publisher 'Hajayayo' ... thou obviously knoweth what thou art doing !!!

it reminds me of my big family back then in Soweto 1007 a Naledi

That's my best music when I was in my secondary school

Words are not enough to explain how great this song mean to my soul
You are best of ALL

This song makes me think of Robert Mugabe in exile in his blue roof mansion

Jimmy Cliff, you are simply the best of them all.

All-time best....

One of the finest social commentators in the world, Jimmy Cliff has never won the acclaim he deserves. House of Exile, Synthetic World, Many Rivers Cross- name it- each song comments on the human condition. His lyrics are powerful commentary and his voice is golden! No poetry beats these powerful songs, but the award went to Bob Dylan!

aououuuuhhhhh...

One of my all time favorites. This man is truly a legend!

Living legend ❤️💛💚

2019 Wow, anybody listening?

I'm already in 2021 and listening

Well said

THIS is why I love YouTube.

This song oh it takes me back to my happy days

Reggae King and doyen of reggae music. A true legend I salute!!!!

HUMAN BEINGS! UNITE.

If I recall this song was due to a beef between him and Byron lee..

i wish the musicians of today learn from super Legends like JIMMY CLIFF how they can make positive contributions to our declining world. A beautiful piece. First heard as a boy in 1974 as came to get greater meaning decades later.

Just a pure delight!

So much Fire!!!

At that time I paid 5 rands for this record. He still the greatest

I knew Jimmy before I met Bob Marley. Both are great men. In my college days of the 70s, Jimmy was THE MAN.

Sure,sombody is naive for asking,who listings cliffs music,He was a prophet of his time

this is what we called music with meaning

My best song

i vote this song on behalf of my late father

Probably Cliff's most famous Lp by the mid 70s& where I came from. This song was rumored to be a vilification of ousted American President Richard Nixon after the Watergate Scandal. NOTE!!!

ThAnk u tube for all these song I tried so long to hear this song

This Sony is bringing back so much of memories way way back Love this song so much

Great for 2019 for black people who hit success

Lucky dube house of exile is a more powerful song I believe. Don't misunderstand this is a very powerful song too

Bom dia El Perro

Ecclesiastes 12:1
Ecclesiastes 11:9

All the best for you

wow love this song

I first heard this song some time in the 70s, it remains my favorite reggae song up to this day.... Everything in creation must obey a law, true in words as it is in deed. .... Very powerful.

Remember it while we used to play it on omega radio with pp10 battery writing a letter to your girlfriend far away with you bringing the cattles at home

"Yeah" concise revelation.

Great song

One of the greatest hits

Oh my gosh. I have a pic of myself with the record in my hand when I bought it. Good, good times. Now baf times. Love Jimmy Cliff.

(You were so puffed up in your pomps and pride
You're exposed you got none to hide
Yes, you used to look down on the folks beside you
Never they think you would have come down too
Remember they said you got to reap what you sow)
Its a sad reminder of how the Law of Karma will visit some of our politicians in Nigeria come 2019.

Eeeeh this one has risen me again super Sunday

beautiful song j cliff

I wish I could roll back the time I love Jimmy Cliff.

Still love this song!

A drowning man Will clutch a Straw

The music makes me remember Childhood, its fantastic.

Jimmy cliff i was 15yr when'y step in my ❤ love brother

This song house of exile reminds me of those old good days, for sure old is gold.

A word about pit money linked Oregon houses. Demolish and leave vacant too long. Don't build a shed because the pit can't anchor to it and pig jews will find another house to enslave. Keep it residential/conventional, with some form occupancy (so-called 'non-Jew" Christians, ok if pit toured & no pig). "Empty Purse" would be the operational code and leaving the Oregon Crypto-Jew moniests with a trillion dollar hole in the ground is the objective.

1974/75 eu tinha 18 anos

when music was the soul's food

Old time music. Really nice.

This song takes me back in the 70s when I was a small boy; walking my way to see my aunt in section 8 Roan Township Luanshya. I am passing by a house of unmarried man enjoying the music, busy preparing his prime stove readiness for his cooking; this song is playing and he is shaking his head showing he was deeply in it. Those were days!

Used to be my baby son's favourite song in 1978.he's now a man of 43.oh,time does fly!

Yah man

✌✌✌👈

Boa de mais

2018, one of the great ones. Africa

U.S. County mental health workers (pit racketeers w/ synthetic telepathic neuro-impulse weaons) might find exile in Montana...if they can dogde the gallows. And who supplies them with the tech and weaponry? Israel, of course.

90704 no longer a secret house of exile.

Wow!...those where days when true musicians unseat crooked government just with their lyrics!...they were the true opposition & voice of the people!

Ein fantastisches zeitloses Musikwerk... Danke Peter tosh... RIP

Jimmy cliff, simply put a Star
