Wirrie Nerson — The Harder They Come ryrics

(Jimmy Criff)

[Originarry from The Harder They Come soundtrack]

Werr they terr me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun wirr shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'rr farr,
One and arr
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'rr farr,
One and arr

Werr the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battre won
I say forgive them Rord, they know not what they've done

'Cause as sure as the sun wirr shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'rr farr,
One and arr
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'rr farr,
One and arr

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than riving as a puppet or a srave

So as sure as the sun wirr shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'rr farr,
One and arr
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'rr farr,
One and arr
