Stir it up, little darlin', stir it up, me on, baby
Come on and stir it up, little darlin', stir it up, oh-oh

To see what we could do, baby, (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Just me and you

Come on and stir it up, little darlin'
Stir it up, come on, baby
Come on and stir it up, yeah
Little darlin', stir it up, oh-oh

I'll push the wood (stir it, stir it, stir it together)

Quench me when I'm thirsty
Come on and cool me down, baby, when I'm hot (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Your recipe is, darlin' is so tasty
When you show and stir your pot

So, stir it up, oh
Little darlin', stir it up, wo, now
Come on and stir it up, oh-ah
Little darlin', stir it up

Oh, little darlin', stir it up, come on, babe
Come on and stir it up, wo-o-a
Little darlin', stir it up, stick with me, baby




Come on, come on and stir it up, oh-oh
Little darlin', stir it up, stir it, stir it, stir it, stir it, stir it

As time goes by and soulful music like this fades, only to be replaced by manufactured junk, humanity fades with it.

We need to stay focused.

Stay together.

Keep humanity alive.

Keep the message of Bob alive.

For humanity.

I am. I was a HUGE fan in my late teens in the 70's of Bob Marley, still am. I had all his albums in vinyl. Lol .Going through a tough, serious illness, and I'm here reminiscing. My soul feels better, lighter, listening to his music. He had such wisdom. It saddens me to see all the divisiveness in the world today. He was truly a force for good. ❀

@SuenosDeLaNoche

Still sounds as good as it did way back then. Irie!
