(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoo-doo;
  Scoop, scoop wa-doo.)
  Up a cane river to wash my dread;
  Upon a rock I rest my head.
  There I vision through the seas of oppression, oh-oo-wo!
  Don't make my life a prison.
    We come from Trench Town, Trench Town (Trenchtown) -
  Most of them come from Trench Town.
  We free the people with music (sweet music);
  Can we free the people with music (sweet music)?
  Can we free our people with music? - With music,
  With music, oh music!
    Oh-y, my head,
  In desolate places we'll find our bread,
  And everyone see what's taking place, oh-oo-wo! -
  Another page in history.
    We come from Trench Town,
  Come from Trench Town;
  We come from Trench Town.
  Lord we free the people with music (sweet music);
  We free the people with music (sweet music);
  We free our people with music,
  With music, oh music (oh music)!
    They say it's hard to speak;
  They feel so strong to say we are weak;
  But through the eyes the love of our people, oh-oo-wo!
  They've got to repay.
    We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town;
  We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town;
  Trench - Trench Town (Trenchtown).
  They say, "Can anything good come out of Trench Town?"
  (Trench - Trenchtown)
  That's what they say, (Trenchtown); (Trench - Trenchtown)
  Say (Trench - Trenchtown) we're the underprivileged people,
  So (Trenchtown) they keep us in chains:
  "Pay (Trench - Trenchtown) - pay - pay tribute to -" (Trenchtown).
  We come from (Trench - Trenchtown);
  We come from (Trench - Trenchtown);
  Just because we come from Trench Town.
  Not because we come from Trench Town;
  Just because we come from (Trenchtown). [fadeout]
