When Will I Get Pay Lyrics by Earl 16

Julia

[Verse 1]
How many rivers must I cross before I am free, before I am free?
The time I'm working in your factory, I’m working in the industry
Sweat an' tear is all I see, I'm working for my bread
[Chorus]
Tell me, when will I get paid
For the work that I have done, for the work that I have done
[Verse 2]
It’s been so long, so long since I've been traveling
Just to find a peace of mind, just to find a peace of mind
But all I see is unhappy face an' unhappy people
Looking for a peace of mind, looking for a peace of mind
[Chorus]
Tell me, when will I get paid
For the work that I have done, for thе work that I have done
I'm a working in your factory, and I'm working in the industry
Got to cut thе sugar cane just to feed my family
Tell me, when will I get paid
For the work that I have done, for the work that we have done
[Bridge]
It's been so long, so long
By that I'm a strong-strong-strong
[Verse 3]
It's been many moons since I’ve been traveling
Just to find a peace of mind, just to find a peace of mind
All I see is unhappy face, unhappy people
Looking for the peace of mind, looking for the peace of mind
I’ve been working in the factory, I've been working in the industry
I had to cut the sugar cane too just to earn my bread
[Chorus]
Tell me, when will I get paid
For the work that I have done, for the work that I have done
[Verse 4]
How many rivers must I cross before I am free, before I am free?
Keep on working in the factory, the thing I get to do, I do it
Even the boss might push me, just to keep my bread
[Chorus]
Tell me, when will I get paid
For the work that we have done, for the work that I have done
