Hey Mitch - Marley dedicated this one to you

Why boasteth thyself
Oh, evil men
Playing smart
And not being clever?
I said, you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity (if a-so a-so)
But the goodness of Jah, Jah
I-dureth for-I-ver

So if you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

These are the words
Of my master, keep on tellin' me
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it (... fall in it)

If you are the big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe, sharp and ready
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

(To cut you down)

(To cut you down)

These are the words
Of my master, tellin' me that
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, uh (... bury in it)

If you are the big, big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
Sharpened ...

Get up Stand up!!

[Bluenorthwest]

3. Ah, Malise, when I saw your header, I knew it would be this one

Ready to cut you down. We are the small axe, my friend. And this is one of the greatest songs ever.

[malaise]

5. LOL

Clearly you know your Marley :hi:

[Bluenorthwest]

10. Bob and the Wailers Burnin' is one of the best records of all

time. I love them all, Bob especially.

[H2O Man]

6. Very good.

I think of Peter Tosh's "Downpresser Man" frequently these days.

Recommended.

[malaise]

7. I love Tosh

:hi:

[H2O Man]

8. He wrote the

lyrics to "Get Up, Stand Up"; Bob provided the tune. My son has an outstanding Tosh (alone) acoustic version of the song.

[malaise]

9. Tosh wrote the best lyrics for the Wailers

Hubby has an unbelievable collection of all their music. He followed them from day one.

[H2O Man]

11. Like Lennon & McCartney,

Marley and Tosh brought out the best in each other.

[Bluenorthwest]

12. That's where the magic lives...

in each other.
