What's This Song

Recommended Posts

I used to hear it in the mid 1970's. It is either reggae or ska.

 

The lyrics contain '' fighting with nation, guns and ammunition ''.

 

Is it Marley or Burning Spear perhaps. I was bopping away and singing along to it the other night, a pub band sang it very well in a club in Leamington Spa.

 

Many thanks.

Nice to hear Joe and the lads again, I was introduced to their drummer (Topper) the other week in Dover, he's just picked up the sticks again and teaches kids.
