If you have a sistren
And she come from country town
Home training and manners
She never know
Grandfather say oh mammy
Say forward gal a mountain side
Mek she go wash, wash tub
Mek she go wash, wash tub
Don't mek she go to waste
Don't mek she go to waste
Don't let she stand and wait, oh
Don't mek she face disgrace
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she go to waste
If you have a sistren
And she come from woodland home
Irie spirit she has when she greets you
It shows
Grandfather say, oh mammy say
Forward gal a Mountain side
Dub her up a ital fall
Dub her up a ital fall
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she stand and wait, oh
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she face disgrace
In a Earth I would like the blessing
To be on all the children of Israel
For the fear of Jah is the beginning of wisdom
The sistren qone natty dread
All a wear tall frok instead
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she stand and wait, oh
Don't mek she face disgrace
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she go to waste
Cultural vibes are her saying
A piece of silver don't strike her eye
She say reality is so nice
So take care women
African Ruby, I mean that truly
Come mek we forward down a river
To go beat old clothes
Come mek we forward down a river
To go beat old clothes
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she stand and wait, oh
Don't let she face disgrace
Don't let she go to waste
Don't let she go to waste
