Let's not quarrel, let's not fight Let's get together, we all can unite
Then take off these chains from off our feet
Cause we gonna walk, we gonna walk Walk down freedom street
Everybody knows we gonna walk, we gonna walk Walk, walk, walk, down freedom street
Let me tell you people
United we stand, divided we fall
Respect your brothers, sisters and all
Let's not deal with illiteracy, work it out intelligently
Lord, Lord, 'cause we gonna walk, we gonna walk
Walk, walk, walk, down freedom street
Everybody knows we gonna walk, we gonna walk
Walk, walk, walk, down freedom street, dear, God
Can't see clearly 'cause I worked hard last night
It must be a vision 'cause there's no change in sight I see a big, big street, where all hands meet It must be freedom street, oh
Lord, freedom street
Everybody knows we gonna walk, we gonna walk
Walk, walk, walk, down freedom street
Everybody knows we gonna talk in the whole wide world
As we go walkin' slowly
Walk, we gonna talk, we gonna walk, ah
Let's get together, Lord
We gonna sing, we gonna shout
Where we gonna walk

Ken Boothe's (born 1948 in Kingston, Jamaica) is known as "Mr Rocksteady" for his prominence during the musical period 1966-1974 and was a major idol for the to-be members of UB40. Boothe started by recording a version of Sandie Shaw's "Puppet on a String" in 1967. Later the same year, Boothe and Alton Ellis had a successful U.K. tour with the group The Soul Vendors. Under new direction from record producer Lloyd Chalmers, the song "Everything I Own" surprisingly was Number One in the UK in 1974.

Boothe started by recording a version of Sandie Shaw's "Puppet on a String" in 1967. Later the same year, Boothe and Alton Ellis had a successful U.K. tour with the group The Soul Vendors. Under new direction from record producer Lloyd Chalmers, the song "Everything I Own" surprisingly was Number One in the UK in 1974. The song, written by David Gates, was given a sympathetic light reggae feel and found instant favour in the West Indies and in the U.K.
Boothe seemed, at the time, to have the makings of an international, long-lasting, hit maker, certainly when compared to most of the other latter-day reggae acts. His smoother style gave him a wider appeal, rather like UB40 and Aswad. Boothe's choice of songs also showed the breadth of his musical taste. But for all that, he only managed one more hit in the UK Chart, "Crying over You", which made Number 11.
In more recent times, Boothe has also recorded for Bunny Lee, Phil Pratt, King Jammy, Pete Weston, Jack Ruby, Hugh "Red Man" James, Castro Brown, and Tappa Zukie. Plus in 1995, he teamed up with Shaggy, for a new styled version of his old track, "The Train Is Coming", which appeared on the soundtrack of the film, Money Train.
A double-disc overview of Boothe's Trojan years, Crying over You, was released by the label in 2001.
