African Roots Lyrics - Dub From The Roots - King Tubby

I dreamed I had a good job and I got well paid 

I blew it all at the penny arcade 

A hundred dollars on a cupid doll 

No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl 

And I teetered the way to the promised land 

Every woman, child and man 

Get your caddilac and a great big diamond ring 

Don't you know you're riding with the king? 

He's on a mission of mercy, to the new fronteir 

He's gonna take us all outta' here 

Up to that mansion, on a hill 

Where you can get your prescription pill 

And I teetered the way to the promised land 

Everybody clap your hands 

And don't you dirts love the way that he sings? 

Don't you know you're riding with the king? 

You're riding with the king 

Don't you know you're riding with the king? 

A tuxedo and a shining green burning five 

You can see it in his face, the blues is alive 

Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings 

Don't you know you're riding with the king? 

I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old 

With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold 

I had a guitar hanging just about waist high 

And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die 

Don't you know you're riding with the king? 

Don't you know you're riding with the king? 

(You're riding with me baby) 

(You got good hands) 

(Yes, you're riding with the king) 

(I wanted to say B.B. King, but you know who the king is)
