"Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright"
Singin', "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright"
Rise up this mornin', smile with the risin' sun
Three little birds perched by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Sayin', "This is my message to you"
Singin', "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singin', "Don't worry (Don't worry) 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Rise up this mornin', smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds perched by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Sayin', "This is my message to you"
Meaning "Don't worry about a thing"
Worry 'bout a thing, no
"Every little thing gonna be alright"
Don't worry
Singin', "Don't worry about a thing"
I won't worry
"'Cause every little thing gonna be alright"
Meaning "Don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright"
I won't worry
Singin', "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright"
Said he don't worry, a-worry 'bout a thing, no no
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

| Dunkelstar (Hershey, PA) | Posted: Feb 07, 2013 - 09:12 Always makes me smile. |

Boring and mindlessly repetitious is boring and mindlessly repetitious, I don't care HOW banal your tastes may be. I'm dropping my score from a 2 to a 1. |

| richlister (Here, there, pretty much everywhere.) | Posted: Jan 07, 2013 - 01:04 I suppose, you can say "Don't worry... about a thing..." when you have no job, live on the beach, smoke weed and drink Red Stripe all day, innit... mon? |

| calypsus_1 | Posted: Oct 23, 2011 - 16:49 Tanya Donelly, daughter and friends June 18, 2010, Joe's Pub, New York City, Tanya Donelly, her daughter Gracie, and Gracie's friends perform a few songs together to celebrate the release of "Sing Me to Sleep - Indie Lullabies" (which I co-produced with Joe Spadaro at American Laundromat Records). Tanya recorded a cover of "Moon River" for the award-winning compilation, and Marley´s Three Little Birds. Video and audio recordings by Thomas Polansky of autolyzeband.com. ~katesnowbird on May 1, 2011 (Marley´s Three Little Birds begins at 4:20 min) candy & funny! I think also pleased to B. Marley. |
| Queue (ROKville, MD) | Posted: Oct 06, 2011 - 13:57 One of my favorite Marley tunes. I used to sing this to my twins in the NICU. Now they're in high school. |

| GuiltyFeat | Posted: Jan 12, 2011 - 07:12 I was beginning to lose faith in this playlist, but this little piece of gold has cheered me up no end. Musical perfection. |

| DaMoGan (Body on the east coast, Mind on the west coast.) | Posted: Aug 06, 2010 - 12:43 This one will always get to me. I remember playing it for my mom the first time she got breast cancer. (She beat it that time, and had a good 12 year run!) |

| Decoy (Milliway's, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe) | Posted: Apr 01, 2010 - 11:02 I play this for my 3 daughters, all 3 start jumping, dancing, and singing along. Life just seems so much better after we all hear this song. It really puts things back in to perspective. |
| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Mar 16, 2010 - 10:19 Timeless and impossible to overexpose; try as they may! |
| tapatia1072 | Posted: Mar 16, 2010 - 10:12 I used to play/sing this song in the morning when I woke my daughter up for school when she was a little. Always guaranteed she would get up with a smile, rather than a frown. |
| RC_in_Bezerkeley (People's Republic of Berkeley) | Posted: Mar 16, 2010 - 10:12 I wonder if there's a reason that I've heard this song twice this morning. First on Live105 on the way to work and just now... |

It is a very good compilation. But there is some magic on those original albums that can't be reproduced in any compilation. |
