Back in the Days Lyrics

The beauty and splendour is what I remember
When I'm thinking of back in those days
We played volleyball and climbed waterfalls
And watch the sunset end of the day
At night we would listen to the number one sound
And dance the night away
King Stitt used to mash it
U Roy used to rock it
Big Youth always a flash it
Brigadier Jerry used to cork it

And everyone feeling happy
I remember the cane man on the street corner
Selling that sweet sugar cane
He used to peel it and bag it and talk to me nicely
And even remember my name
That sensimilla smell I remember so well
While rocking in the dancehall
Alcapone used to mash it
Tippertone Sound used to cork it
Dennis Brown was inseparable
Everyone feeling irie
Count Matchuki used to mash it
Jimmy Cliff always a rock it
Millie Small, the lollipop girl
And everyone feeling irie
(.)
The beauty and splendour is what I remember
When I'm thinking of back in those days
We played volleyball and climbed waterfalls
And watch the sunset end of the day
At night we would listen to the number one sound
And dance the night away
King Stitt used to mash it
U Roy used to rock it
Brigadier Jerry used to cork it
And everyone feeling irie
Derrick Morgan used to rock it
Paragons used to mash it
Wailers was the rudeboys
And everyone feeling irie
Delroy Wilson used to rock it
Clarendonians "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be" doo
Phyllis Dillon used to nice it up
And everyone feeling irie
Toots and The Maytals a "Bam Bam"
Hopeton Lewis a "Boom-Shacka-Lacka"
And everyone feeling irie
Techniques "You Don't Care For Me" at all
Melodians a "Sweet Sensation"
Everyone feeling irie, irie
