Bob Marley and the Wailers

Bob Marley and the Wailers were a Jamaican reggae band led by Bob Marley. It developed from the earlier ska vocal group, the Wailers, created by Marley with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in 1963. By late 1963 singers Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, and Cherry Smith had joined on. By the early 1970s, Marley and Bunny Wailer had learned to play some instruments and brothers Aston "Family Man" Barrett (bass) and Carlton Barrett (drums), had joined the band.

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
To set my people free

Who's there yonder dressed in red
Sets my people free
Who's there yonder dressed in red
Sets my people free
I'm begging
Who's there yonder dressed in red
Must be the children that Moses led

Go, tell it on the mountain
To set my people free
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
To set my people, my people free

Who's there yonder dressed, dressed in white
Sets my people free
Who's there yonder dressed in white
Sets my people free
I'm begging
Who's there yonder dressed in white
Must be the children of the Israelites

Go, tell it on the mountain
Set my people free

Who's there yonder dressed in white
Sets my people free
Who's there yonder dressed in white
Sets my people free
I'm still begging
Who's there yonder dressed in white
Must be the children of the Israelites

Go, tell it on the mountain
To set my people free

I'm begging
Go, tell it on the mountain
