A                   E
It was Saint Thomas in the east
B                        E
There some bearded men prepare big feast
A                        E
Three bags of rice and a big black sow
B                        E
Three bags of weed was prepared for the feast


[Chorus]
A                E
They never run, they never run
B                     E
They never run when police man come, no
A                E
They never run, they never run
B                    E
They never run when police man come
A                    E
But them haffi run, them haffi run
B                     E
Them haffi run when soldier man come
A                    E
But them haffi run, them haffi run
B                      E
Them have haffi when soldier man come


[Verse]
A                 E
Greatest disaster of this big feast
B                    E
Some of them never tasting meat
A                    E
Cause when dem hear batton stick a talk
B                      E
Dem run an' tear down banana walk, yeah


[Chorus]
A                    E
But them haffi run, them haffi run
B                     E
Them haffi run when soldier man come
A                    E
But them haffi run, them haffi run
B                     E
Them haffi run when soldier man come
A                E
Them never run, them never run
B                     E
Them never run when police man come
A                    E
But them haffi run, them haffi run
B                     E
Them haffi run when soldier man come
