Lyrics Tell Me Where You Get It - Culture

Hey rich man, won't you please give up?
Tell me where you get it!
Hey rich man, won't you please give up?

The river of gold, is flowing in Ethiopia
My fore mothers and fathers too
They're sons and daughters of the same side
Putting them, you drive them a-way
They know how to fe-give me

Tell me now, hey rich man
Tell me where you get it!
How come you store basket so full, and mine
Tell me where you get it! Hey

Jacob upstairs, he's a been a rest
Jacob upstairs, while, he's a on a tell-I (seller?)

Tell me now, won't you drop an' give the poor a rest
Tell me where you get it!
Took, took and give the poor some food
Tell me where you get it!
