Jimmy Cliff / The Bigger They Come the Harder They Fall

Well they tell me

There's a pie in the sky

Waiting for me when I die

But between the day

You're born and when you die

Oh Lord, they never

Seem to hear even your cry

And as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share of what's mine

And then

The harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

Oh the harder they come

The harder they fall

Well the oppressors are trying

To get me down, trying to drive me

Under the ground, and they think

That they have got their battle won

I say: 'forgive 'em Lord

They no not what they've done'

And as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share of what's mine

And then

And I keep on fighting for

The things I want, though I know

That when you're dead, man you're gone

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Oh, than living like a puppet or a slave

And as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share of what's mine

And then
