LYRICS
I’m gonna burn your soul into a black lump of coal
Lucifer, son of the morning, I’m gonna chase you out of Earth
I’m gonna put on an iron shirt and chase the devil out of Earth
I’m gonna put on an iron shirt and chase Satan out of Earth
I’m gonna send him to outer space to find another race
I’m gonna send him to outer space to find another race
‘Cause, Satan is an evilous man
But he won’t mix it with this man
And if I catch him with a gun in his hand
I’m gonna chase him from the land
I’m gonna put on an iron shirt and chase the devil out of Earth
I’m gonna put on an iron shirt and chase Satan out of Earth
I’m gonna send him to outer space to find another race
I’m gonna send him to outer space to find another race
‘Cause, Satan is an evilous man
But he won’t mix it with this man
And if I catch him with a gun in his hand
I’m gonna punish him, I’m gonna send him from the land
I’m gonna send him to outer space to find another race
I’m gonna send him to outer space to find another base
‘Cause, Satan is an evilous man
But he won’t mix it with this man
And if I catch him with a gun in his hand
I’m gonna send him from the land
‘Cause, Satan is an evilous man
But he won’t mix it with this man
And if I catch him with a gun in his hand
I’m gonna send him from the land
OVERVIEW
Suggs: I first heard this track on a Lee Perry compilation – it was the last track on a four CD set and what a tremendous thing it is. The music, as always where Mr. Perry is concerned, sounded like it had come from outer space, as did Max Romeo’s lyric. I’m gonna put on an iron shirt indeed. This was a song we were nervous to mess about with, but it just arose naturally one afternoon like it was meant to be. It is not entirely lyrically identical but I hope we got the sentiment mainly right.
