1865 (96 Degrees In The Shade) [Re-Recorded] [Sped Up]

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, hear me when I say

In the shade

Said it was ninety-six degrees in the shade

Ten thousand soldiers on parade

Taking I and I to meet a big fat boy

Sent from overseas

The queen employ

Now excellency before you I come

With my representation

You know where I'm coming from

They caught me on the loose

Trying to be free

And they show I a noose

On the cotton tree

Entertainment for you

Martyrdom for me

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, hear me when I say in the shade

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, hear me when I say in the shade

Some may suffer, some may burn

But I know that one day all of my children gonna learn

Sure as the sun shine, way up in the skies

Today I stand here a victim, yes

the truth is I'll never die

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, hear me when I say in the shade

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, hear me when I say in the shade

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, hear me when I say in the shade

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, ooh yes, in the shade

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, jah jah know, in the shade

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, hear me when I say in the shade

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, hear me when I say in the shade

Ninety-six degrees in the shade

Real hot, hear me when I say in the shade
