TAKE A RIDE
By Mighty Shadow

Papa ------ oy-oy-oy-oy, Papa ------ ey
Papa ------ oy-oy-oy-oy, Papa ------ ey
They tell me you can see the future
You're the person with the vision
If you can really see the future
Can you tell me what will be that will be?

In the future do you see me riding on my big, black donkey
When all dem oil wells are empty and Mister Manning confront me,
"I want a ride, I want a ride, I want a ride, I want a ride."
When the country have small money, you want people ban their belly
Don't watch my donkey, I tell you don't touch my donkey
When the country had big money, you telling me 2020
You want a ride, you want a ride, you want a ride? Take a ride!

Papa ------ oy-oy-oy-oy, Papa ------ ey
Papa ------ oy-oy-oy-oy, Papa ------ ey
They tell me you are just like Noah
You know most things, even ghost things
If you really, really know things
Can you tell me what the future will be?

In the future do you see me riding on my big, black donkey
When all dem oil wells are empty and Mister Manning confront me
"I want a ride, I want a ride, I want a ride, I want a ride."
Will I send him up by Rowley, Mason Hall have plenty donkey
Some curious donkey, mysterious donkey
If you only mention money, they gone with you down the gully
You want a ride, you want a ride, you want a ride? Take a ride!

Papa ------ oy-oy-oy-oy, Papa ------ ey
Papa ------ oy-oy-oy-oy, Papa ------ ey
They tell me you have all the answers
For all questions and suggestions
If you really have the answers,
Can you tell me what will be that will be?

In the future do you see me riding on my big, black donkey
When all dem oil wells are empty and Mister Manning confront me
"You sing on me, eh? you sing on me, you sing on me, you sing on me."
Will I tell him don't dig nothing, this is just a calypso thing
Come watch my donkey, you could even touch my donkey
I don't want to make you angry, you could even ride my donkey
You want a ride, you want a ride, you want a ride? Take a ride!

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Shadow.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
