Standard (EADGBE)

Don’t Forget Your Roots my Friend, Yeah

 Don’t Forget Your Family, Yeah

Don’t Forget Your Roots my Friend,

the ones who made you, the ones who brought you here

Don’t Forget Your Roots my Friend, Yeah

Don’t Forget Your Family, Yeah

Don’t Forget Your Roots my Friend, Yeah

Wooooo

So Jonny was a good man

Armed with the power of his Homeland

And with his boots laced tight and a ticket in his hand,

Never to return home again

So he lost what he knows, and what all is right

For a broken world, and a world of lies,

But the days where numbered, relationships suffered

He lost the faith of all those who mattered so

Chorus

So Jesse thought that she was all that,

Thought she was heading on the right track

Her mates sat at the gate as she walked away

Never to look back again

So she lost what she knows and what all is right

For a brand new image, and a world of lies

But the day where numbered, relationships suffered

She lost the faith of all those who mattered so
