Remember the wicked house day by day
Remember the wicked house day by day
Poor grandfather was bound in chains, yeah
How we have felt so much blindin' pain
From workin' on the sugar cane
And in the pourin' rain
Mi say, the same old cat o' nine
The same old cat o' nine
Dem bust him shot
Dem take he bust him shot
Remember the wicked house day by day
Remember the wicked house day by day
Poor granny on her bendin' knees, yeah
Cutting cane for dem big boss man seeds
Earthquake must have broke her soul bad, yeah
She must have wondered if the walls had cracked
Mi say, mi say, the same old cat o' nine
The same old cat o' nine
Dem bust her shot
Dem take he bust her shot
Remember the wicked house day by day
Remember the wicked house day by day
Poor grandfather was bound in chains, yeah
How we have felt so much blindin' pain
From workin' on the sugar cane
And in the pourin' rain
Mi say, the same old cat o' nine
The same old cat o' nine
Dem bust him shot
Dem take he bust him shot
The same old cat o' nine
The same old cat o' nine
Dem bust her shot
