Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky 
Waiting for me when I die 
But between the day you're born and when you die 
Y'know, they never seem to hear even your cry 

So as sure as the sun will shine 
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine 
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all 
The harder they come, harder they fall
One and all 

And the oppressors are trying to track me down 
They're tryin' to drive me underground 
And they think that they have got the battle won 
I say, forgive them, Lord, they know not what they've done 

So as sure as the sun will shine 
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine 
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all 
Harder they come, harder they fall
One and all 

Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho

And I'll keep on fighting for the things I want 
Though I know that when you're dead you can't 
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave 
Than living as a puppet or a slave 

So as sure as the sun will shine 
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine 
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all 
Harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Yes, the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
