Them Never Love Poor Marcus

The Mighty Diamonds, was a legendary Jamaican harmony trio recording roots reggae with a strong Rastafarian influence, are one of the most internationally popular reggae groups to emerge from the '70s roots era. Regardless of whether they are singing love songs or protest anthems, the Mighty Diamonds bring a startling emotional commitment to their best material and their debut album, Right Time, still stands as one of roots reggae's all-time classics. On March 29, 2022, their lead singer, Donald "Tabby" Shaw, was shot dead in a drive-by shooting. On April 1, 2022, Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson died. They disbanded shortly afterwards. more »

Them never love, never love, never love poor Marcus-they never love him, oh no 
Them never love, never love, 
Never love poor Marcus 

Till they betray him 
Him own brethren sell him fe rice 'n' peas 
They didn't know there would be days like this 
Now do you man waste in such a squeeze, yeah 

[Chorus] 
Men like Bag O' Wire should burn in fire 
The betrayer of Marcus Garvey 

[Chorus] 

'Til the betray, one bredren sell him for rice and peas 
They didn't know there would be days like these 
Now the human race in such a squeeze, mmm Yeah 

[Chorus] 

Men like Bag O' Wire should burn 
In fire fire fire, Lord betrayer. 

[Chorus] 

Black man come together, unity is forever
