Lyrics Famine - The Maytals , Toots
I
wake
up
early
one
morning,
Then
I
went
down
to
Spanish
Town,
To
look
for
a
friend
of
mine,
Who
called
Seminaya.
Then
we
started
to
have
a
little
talk,
About
everything,
about
the
situation,
And
this
is
what
he
said:
He
told
me
famine,
famine,
famine,
Famine
on
the
land.
I
said
the
cost
of
living,
Getting
so
high,
high,
high.
Really
so
high,
high,
high.
So
sky
high!
I
said
the
situation,
Is
getting
so
high,
high,
high.
Then
I
trod
down
to
Old
Harbour,
To
look
for
my
brother
John.
To
ask
him,
how
is
life,
And
things
and
things
and
things.
Then
we
started
to
have
a
little
talk,
About
everything,
about
the
situation,
And
this
is
what
he
said:
He
told
me
famine,
famine,
famine,
Famine
on
the
land.
I
said
the
cost
of
living,
Getting
so
high,
high,
high.
Really
so
high,
high,
high.
So
sky
high!
I
said
the
situation,
Is
getting
so
high,
high,
high.
Then
I
trod
down
to
Clarendon,
To
look
for
my
family.
Into
a
little
street
called
Train
Line,
That's
where
I
was
born.
And
we
started
to
have
a
little
talk,
Together,
together,
about
the
situation,
And
this
is
what
they
said:
Famine
on
the
land.
I
said
the
cost
of
living,
Getting
so
high,
high,
high.
Really
so
high,
high,
high.
So
sky
high!
I
said
this
cost
of
living,
Getting
so
high,
high,
high,
(.)
Getting
so
high.
