Watch Out My Children

My sons and my daughters, to you I plead

Doh get no horrors, but please take heed

I know you doh want no sermon but my admonition 

Is to guard you against all de evils of life

That create strife and destroy life

Walk cautiously, children, be alert

Because you have an enemy, that's roaming the earth

I know you're young and restless but

You don't have to be careless

You see sober thinkin' leads on to righteousness

To happiness, spiritual bliss

That's why I tell you this

(Chorus:)

Watch out, my children (2x)

It have a feller called Lucifer 

With a bag of white powder

And he doh want to powder yoh face

But to bring shame and disgrace to de human race

(Chorus)

I give you my counsel because I want to see

All you, young people, live righteously

What you feed your mind with,

Forms your characteristic and shades the path

That you must walk tomorrow

Darkness or glow, joy or sorrow

That's why I'm concerned so

(Chorus)

You're young and your future is ahead of you

Right or wrong, sweet or sour 

Depends on what you do

Taking de wrong direction will drain your constitution

And promote mental chaos and confusion

Then corruption will be in ah man

And that's not what's planned so
