Toots And The Maytals - Never Get Weary Lyrics






I was down in the valley for a very long time
And I never get weary yet
I was down in the valley for a very long time
And I never get weary yet

I was born and raised in a little old shack
With my poor family
I was born and raised in a little old shack
With my poor family, with my poor family

I was born before Christopher Columbus, yeah
And I was born before the Ara wok Indians
Trying creation, before this nation
I always remember, I can't forget, wo, wo, wo

I was walking on the shore when they took me in the ship
And they throw me overboard
And I swung right out of the belly of the whale
And I never get weary yet

They put me in jail and I did not do no wrong
And I never get weary yet
Say they put me in jail and I didn't get no bail
And I never get weary yet, never get weary yet

I know, I was born before Christopher Columbus, yeah
And I was born before the Ara wok Indians
Trying creation, before this nation
I always remember, which I can't forget, oh, yeah

I was down in the valley for a very long time
And I never get weary yet
I was down in the valley for a very long time
And I never get weary yet

I was born and raised in a little old shack
With my poor family
I was born and raised in a little old shack
With my poor family, with my poor family

Yes, I was born before Christopher Columbus, yeah
And I was born before the Ara wok Indians
Trying creation, before this nation
I always remember, I can't forget, wo

Oh, I never get weary
Well, I never get weary

    @Michael J Golda Much respect Michael, I had the vinyl release and the band posted the lyrics on the inner sleeve. You have a good ear for lyrics but let me make some minor adjustments:
    "I was from before Christopher Columbus
    I was from before the Arawak Indians..."

    M.... J....

    ahhhhh, Thank you so much for letting me know, time to research the "The Arawaks" 
    Take care, Larry!

    Toots is the best Vocalist

    "I was born before Christopher Columbus. I was born before The Arawok indians, trying creation, before this nation."
