[Verse 1]
And I go to a town
I go to see my girl
The big man comes and say “we no,”
“we no like your kind"
I say I want no trouble, just, just
Just leave me alone
He say “boy, pack your bags and go"
And I go home
[Chorus]
And I don't care
(no, I don't care)
What the big man say
(what they say, what they say)
I smoke my ganja
Anyway
And I and I don't care
(no, I don't care)
What the big man say
(what they say, what they say)
I smoke my ganja
Anyway
[Verse 3]
I can't, I can't stay away
From the woman I love
They catch me and take me away
And then they lock me up
I can't see no, I can't see no
No light of day
Cell Block L7, where the rats and co*kroaches play
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Lay the banana peel on the cell door steel
And let it dry for weeks and weeks and weeks, and weeks
Oh no, under the mattress to let it ferment dry
We gonna party, we gonna party
All night long
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Smoke one more banana spliff
Living in a Babylon jail
(Smoke it right up, smoke it right up)
Smoke one more banana spliff
Suffer in a Babylon in jail
(Smoke it right up, smoke it right up)
Twist one, roll one, smoke one for jah
I'm in a Babylon jail
(Smoke it right up, smoke it right up)
Smoke one more banana spliff
No escape from a Babylon jail
(Smoke it right up, smoke it right up)
Smoke one more banana spliff
[?]
(Smoke it right up, smoke it right up)
Smoke one, smoke two, smoke three, four hours
No reprieves in a Babylon jail
(Smoke it right up, smoke it right up)
Smoke one spliff for me
