Lyrics of Pirate Days by Culture
verse
I, I, I come on out, ooh
I, I, I, chant it out, ooh
For peace was in the garden before the pirates came here
Yeah-ay
Peace was in the garden before the pirates came here
But when
chorus
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
Chant it out
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
Ay, ay
verse
Pirates came and saw this station clean, tell him now
Pirates came and saw about kitchen's garden clean
When eh
chorus
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
Tell him who was here
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
verse
Now people, let me ask a question
How long do you believe slavery continued?
Tell 'em
Three-hundred years, three-hundred years, black man
Tell them again
Three-hundred years, three-hundred years, black man
chorus
This garden was beautiful when
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
Chant it out, loud and clear
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
I want the teachers tell to the children
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
chorus
Pastors, please, preach it in the church
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
Tell it to them and a-still on
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
Black man was not there for slave
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
chorus
He was away from Africa, ay
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
Stolen and three bad ship
The Arawak, the Arawak, the Arawak was here first
We just can't get nothing to eat
Writer(s): Roy Sylvester Dayes, Joseph Constantine Hill
