Give I an helping hand, oh Jah,
I'm not a working man,
I'm struggelin', to survive.

Money is the root of all evil,
Money is the root of all evil.

So give I an helping hand,
'Cause I'm not a working man..
No, I'm not a working man.

Some people will make your live misery,
They tryin' to take away your money,
They need some money to survive,
They need some money to stay alive.

So money is the root of all evil,
Money is the root of all evil.

I'm not a working man,
So give I an helping hand, oh Jah,
Give I an helping hand.

Your light can't be, without no money,
Your bread can't be, without no money,
You can't buy food, to eat, to feed,
You're children, oh, you're children, think about them!
Money is the root of all evil.

Don't take away, what isn't yours,
Just keep yourself, to yourself,
And you will make, some money someday.
Jah will provide, oh yes.
Jah will provide!
Jah will provide.
Just be patient, be patient.

'Cause money is the root of all evil,
Money is the root of all evil.
Money is the root of all evil.

So give I an helping hand,
'Cause I'm not a working man..
No I'm not a working man.
Oh.. I'm not a working man.

It's making the world go, round and round.
It's making the world go, round and round.

It's going from hand to hand, oh,
It's going from town to town.

Money is the root of all evil,
Money is the root of all evil.

You got to spend it wisely,
Don't spend it all on yourself,
You got to save some money for your sistren,
And you got to save your money for your breddrin.

Money is the root of all evil,
Money is the root of all evil.

And it's making the world go, round and round and round.
It's making the world go, round and round and round.

So give I an helping hand,
'Cause I'm not a working man..
Oh, give I an helping hand,

I don't want to take what is not mine.
I don't want to take what is not mine.
