This song was second to The Maytals Pomp & Pride during one of the Jamaican festival contest and Eric Donaldson was not happy about the result. Here are the lyrics: Blue Boots Lyrics: If you think to know every leaflet about festivity, Please don't you stifle your conscience, come singing it merrily. Old dresser tumble down, we got to build a new one.(2x) Got to sing it out, sing it all about. Got to sing it out. Everyday you keep saying you could a tell it out, but you no have big pot. Figo-bwoy no bail a goat, and you no have blue boots. Figo climb up the eleven step, for you no want no old house come tumble down (u)pon you. But if it tumble down, we got to build a new one. If it tumble down, flat, we got to build a new one. Got to sing it out, sing it all about. Everyday you keep saying you could a tell it out, but you no have big pot. Figo-bwoy no bail a goat and you no have blue boots. Figo climb up the eleven step, for you no want no old house come tumble down (u)pon you. But if it tumble down, we got to build a new one. If it tumble down, flat, we got to build a new one. Old dresser tumble down, we got to build a new one. Old dresser tumble down, flat, we got to build a new one.
Omg this is my all time fave

It's making my bus journey to work a good one
One of the best tracks from early 70's....Loving U-Roy cut Festival Wise too!!

Blue Boots Lyrics:
If you think to know every leaflet about festivity,
Please don't you stifle your conscience, come singing it merrily.
Old dresser tumble down, we got to build a new one.(2x)
Got to sing it out, sing it all about.
Got to sing it out.
Everyday you keep saying you could a tell it out, but you no have big pot.
Figo-bwoy no bail a goat, and you no have blue boots.
Figo climb up the eleven step, for you no want no old house come tumble down (u)pon you.
But if it tumble down, we got to build a new one.
If it tumble down, flat, we got to build a new one.
Got to sing it out, sing it all about.
Everyday you keep saying you could a tell it out, but you no have big pot.
Figo-bwoy no bail a goat and you no have blue boots.
Figo climb up the eleven step, for you no want no old house come tumble down (u)pon you.
But if it tumble down, we got to build a new one.
If it tumble down, flat, we got to build a new one.
Old dresser tumble down, we got to build a new one.
Old dresser tumble down, flat, we got to build a new one.
Cheers; wondered about some words for 45 years !!
Correction......"You nuh have big pot, fi guh boil no Billy goat".
