[Verse 1]
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
Because I walk in his gladness on his merry merry road
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
I've got to back up myself against false evidence
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
I've got to pick up where them say Jah Jah left off and gone
I have to carry Jah heavy heavy load

[Verse 2]
In my meditation when I reason with him
Clearly in my visions of dreams
He reason with me, I feel Jah Jah heartically
Oh, I know what I do believe
I believe in Jah Jah truth and rights

[Chorus]
I've got to carry Jah load
Heavy, heavy load
I've got to carry Jah load
Heavy, heavy load

[Verse 3]
This rumour situation that is spreading across the nation
Trying to dim the lights been precious in my father sight
Saying that Rasta father trodding this earth no longer
But in Zion is my father's throne and I know the earth is his footstool
[Chorus]
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
I've got to carry Jah heavy load

[Outro]
He said I feel it every day
I said its heavy every day
Jah Jah is a every day
Heavy every day
