Carry Go Bring Come Lyrics

All this carry go bring come my dear
Bring misery
All this carry go bring come my dear
It bring misery
Going from home to home
Making disturbances
It's time you stop fooling yourself
You old Jezebel
The strong shall inherit the earth
You old Jezebel
It needs no light to see
That you're making disturbances
It's better to speak the truth
And use a wise tongue
It's better than bringing oppression
Upon an innocent man
But time will tell on you
You old Jezebel
How long shall the wicked reign over the people
I said how long shall the wicked reign over the people

La la la la la la la la la la la...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song was originally played by Justin Hinds but has since been covered by many ska and reggae groups. The Selecter version is by far my favorite though.
