Bob Marley - Stop That Train Lyrics






Stop that train: I'm leavin' - today!
Stop that train: I'm leavin' - anyway!
Stop that train: I'm leavin'. And I said:
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong;
I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong.

All my good life I've been a lonely man,
Teachin' my people who don't understand;
And even though I tried my best,
I still can't find no happiness.

So I got to say:
Stop that train: I'm leavin' - oh, baby now!
Stop that train: I'm leavin' - don't care what you say!
Stop that train: I'm leavin'. And I said:
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong;
Said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong.

Some goin' east; and-a some goin' west,
Some stand aside to try their best.
Some livin' big, but the most is livin' small::
They just can't even find no food at all.

I mean, stop it:
Stop that train: I'm leavin' - leavin', mm-hmm.
Stop that train: I'm leavin' - I don't mind!
Stop that train: I'm leavin'. And I said:
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong;
I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong.

Stop that train: I'm leavin' - leavin'!
Stop that train: I'm leavin' - can't take it!
Stop that train: I'm leavin' - got to be better!
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong;
I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong. [fadeout]

    What 11 KKK members left the thumbs down on this??? 😜 I mean especially seeing music now-a-days is like the opposite of what this is (popular music in the US mostly blows) I wish I was in the sand and one of my good friends with me, a joint of some heavy smoke and a bottle of Rum not in a car with a pistol a sack of 20z and a shitty disposition.

    Catch a Fire, released on 13 April 1973, was the fifth album by Jamaican reggae band The Wailers, and the first the band released on Island Records. In later issues of the album, Island Records has renamed the band to Bob Marley and the Wailers because Marley had reached international fame by then. The album features nine songs, two of which were written by Peter Tosh ("400 Years", "Stop That Train") and the rest by Bob Marley. Tosh is doing the lead vocals on his songs, Marley on his songs.

    I cant figure out why some are saying that it is Bob doing the lead vocals. It is so obvious that it is Peter on the lead that it really does not warrant me saying much. The Original song was done in the days of Lee Scratch Perry, was re done for the 'Catch  a Fire album' that was produced by Blackwell. The album version has very little of Bob as  background. Bob obviously did background on that track on the catch a fire album. Bob's background was mainly removed on the studio album partly because it was too raw  and present. The Tosh/Bunny harmony on that album is perhaps the greatest harmonies of all times.
    To summarize, I wish to just clarify and re organize some 'ignorance'.... peter did the lead and has always done the lead on this song. From Perry production to Blackwell's production. By the way, that song was re done on Tosh's Mamma Africa Album.
    My 5 cents. Hope this rest the case!!!!!!!!!

    B.... A....

    +Stefan Santerre
    You are correct on every point, especially the last one.
    I was saying for years now that the 'Wailers Sound' was essentially a Carlton Barrett's drum with Aston's bass line.......

    B.... A....

    Very good music with sound intellectual analysis. Bless you guys

    B.... A....

    Youtube is riddled with Bob Marley fanboys who think reggae begins and ends with Bob. Un educated people who don't give credit to musical geniuses like Peter.

    B.... A....

    Bernard Alexander very true, and infact the song was Peter's way of saying goodbye to the group...

    this is true, but you could have mentioned that the singer and songwriter is Peter Tosh, only for justice as he says in Equal Rights.

    Best Music in the World.

  87. d.... ....

    It's by Bob Marley and the Wailers actually. Peter Tosh happens to be singing on this one instead of Bob

  88. S.... ....

    Once, to make it clear.
    I never meant to be disrespectful for the Singer.
    Years ago I decided to load some of those Songs up,
    and for easier understanding I chose the Album-Artists: Bob Marley & The Wailers
    for nearly all of my Videos. As no one can refuse that this Song is found on "Catch a Fire", I hope, you can find your peace, and just enjoy.

    (Excuse my grammar, but english ist not my particular Strength)

    One Love!!!
