Three Little Birds
Bob Marley · Exodus
'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Sit by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")
Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Sit by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing is gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little is thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no!
'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right! /fadeout/
Three Little Birds
Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds' stands as a cornerstone of reggae, delivered with the infectious rhythm and acoustic guitar work that defined his sound on the 1977 album Exodus. The track serves as a quintessential anthem of reassurance, urging listeners to keep their heads up and avoid worrying over trivial matters. Its message of optimism and resilience resonated globally, becoming a staple in Marley's discography alongside classics like 'No Woman No Cry' and 'Waiting In Vain'. The song's catchy melody and uplifting lyrics cemented its status as a timeless record, often performed live to encourage unity and peace. It remains a defining piece of reggae music, capturing the spirit of Jamaica in the late 1970s while transcending cultural boundaries to offer a universal message of hope.
