anyway, back to the song.
heres how it goes.

Red, red wine, go to my head,
Makes me forget that I
Still need her so.

Red, red wine, it's up to you.
All I can do, I've done;
But mem'ries won't go.
No, mem'ries won't go.

I'd have thought that with time
Thoughts of her would leave my head.
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget.

Red, red wine, stay close to me.
Don't let me be alone;
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart.

I'd have thought that with time
Thoughts of her would leave my head.
I was wrong, and I find
Just one thing makes me forget.

Red, red wine, stay close to me.
Don't let me be alone;
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart.

bob marley died in the year 1981. dont think they have recording studios in jamaica back then.

Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for the ska,rocksteady and reggae bands The Wailers (1964–1974) and Bob Marley & the Wailers(1974–1981). Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited for helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement (of which he was a committed member), to a worldwide audience.[1]


Bob Marley was born in the small village of Nine Mile in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica as Nesta Robert Marley.[6] A Jamaican passport official would later swap his first and middle names.[7] His father, Norval Sinclair Marley, was a caucasian-Jamaican of English descent, whose family came from Essex, England. Michael George Marley, cousin of Bob Marley, has speculated that the Marleys were of Syrian-Jewish descent, however, this is not conclusive.[8] Norval was a captain in the Royal Marines, as well as a plantation overseer, when he marriedCedella Booker, an Afro-Jamaican then eighteen years old.[9] Norval provided financial support for his wife and child, but seldom saw them, as he was often away on trips. In 1955, when Marley was 10 years old, his father died of a heart attack at age 60.[10] Marley suffered racial prejudice as a youth, because of his mixed racial origins and faced questions about his own racial identity throughout his life. He once reflected:

I don't have prejudice against meself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.[11]

Although Marley recognized his mixed ancestry, throughout his life and because of his beliefs, he self-identified as a black African.
