2/16/22 - Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/16/22

Woke this morning a bit more positive than I have been of late. Days like this call for uplifting and/or upbeat songs.
So, I decided a Bob Marley song was a good example of the tunes I listen to in moods like the one I find myself.

The song I chose for today's track is Three Little Birds, which was written and performed by Bob Marley. Its lyrics are positive and full of hope and the music has a groovy feel to it that makes a person want to dance. The message is one that everyone needs to hear at one time or another...

"Don't worry, about a thing
'Cause every little thing, gonna be all right"

Three Little Birds
written by Bob Marley
performed by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Don't worry, about a thing
'Cause every little thing, gonna be all right
Singin', don't worry, about a thing
'Cause every little thing, gonna be all right

Rise up this mornin'
Smile with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitched by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin', "This is my message to you, whoo-hoo"

Singin', don't worry, about 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, gonna be all right

Rise up this mornin'
Smile with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitched by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin', "This is my message to you, whoo-hoo"

Singin', don't worry, about a thing
Worry about a thing, no
Every little thing, gonna be all right
Don't worry
Singin', don't worry, about a thing
I won't worry!
'Cause every little thing, gonna be alright

Hmm don't worry, about a thing
'Cause a every little thing, gonna be all right
I won't worry
Baby don't worry, about a thing
'Cause every little thing, is gonna be all right
Say, don't worry about a thing, no girl
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right
