Cliff, Jimmy - The Harder They Come Lyrics

Thank you Jimmy...Somerton’s son

20th century music master James chambers a.k.a Jimmy Cliff

The REAL King of Reggae.

I heard this on a boat in Miami vice

PETER TOSH,GREAT MUSICIAN

Big Tune!!

Love love the this song and the movie so much 😍😍😍😍

Why is there only a K after the like count and not an M?

1000 gobshites downvoted this legendary tune.

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all

Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord
They know not what they've done

'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all

Ooh, yeah, oh yeah, woah yeah ooh

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share right now of what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all

Yeah, the harder they come
The harder they'll fall one and all
What I say now what I say now, ooh
What I say now what I say
One time, the harder they come
The harder they'll fall
Wanna know
Ooh the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all

A great, brilliant classic reggae tune. Shame it never ever became a hit single in the U.S. (or maybe even anywhere else, as a sad matter of fact)

I'M GONNA GET MY SHARE OF WHAT'S MINE!!!!

THE FILM IS A CLASSIC.

one of the best

Andategli a parlare di codice civile a Jimmy Cliff. Andategli a parlare di codice penale, di avvisi di garanzia, di detenzione preventiva... Andatelo a parlare di punizioni divine e occhi nel cielo. Fatelo. Anzi scrivetegli una bella raccomandata con ricevuta di ritorno. Vediamo cosa vi risponde.

Willie Nelson sings this also. Love this song.

OH ( deity of choice)!!!!!!! this is the ultimate LOVIN IT TILL THE DAY I DIE AND THEN SOME

Food for the Soul

I am classic

I well know Jimmy Cliff's political messages. But these might be the most infectious dance rhythms ever recorded. I can barely keep myself still to type this. Gotta boogie!

One and all

GENIAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a voice!!!!, it's sure Cliff is not the most known reggae singer, but in my opinion is the best, i know a lot of people prefers other more recogniced artists, but fame and quality doesn't always go together.

2019 still listening👏🏽👏🏽

Wonderful song favourite ever

Stirs my body love all his songs, sad joyous motivating love him Chelsea fan in London xxx god bless Terry

I too until departure.been hearing this since 70 s

The harder they come the harder they fall. Legend!

youre welcome :)

The film is pretty good too ! Vietnam is my favourite anti war song; soulful, sincere, tragic and lets us know the truth, War Is Hell.

Brixton and Hackney calling! The anthem of the civil rights and anti-racism movement in the UK.

♪♫ ♥ ;)

Truth be told...I just found out bout Dr. Jimmy Cliff (June 2019) after a very bad day at work. "The Harder They Come" came on and totally took me away from all the bs at work and mentally put me on the beach with ice cold screwdriver looking out at the ocean. Life is not that bad, think about it.....you're among the living. Be thankful!--------I hope I'm blessed to one day meet Jimmy to let him know what this song means to me :) Thank You Jimmy!!!

Knew Jimmy from the 60s. Great singer. Saw him in Riverside, CA a long time ago. Check out his other songs. All great. Enjoy!
