Derrick Morgan 'Tougher Than Tough' (official audio)

Derrick Morgan's rock steady rude boy anthem from 1967, as featured in the acclaimed documentary, 'Rudeboy: the Story of Trojan Records'.

Born in Jamaica on 27 March 1940, Morgan made his musical breakthrough in the late-1950s after entering Vere Johns Opportunity Hour, winning the talented contest at the Palace Theatre with rousing interpretations of Little Richard hits.

National tours with Jamaican comedy team Bim & Bam ensued, and in 1959, Morgan finally made his recording debut with his self-penned 'Lover Boy', produced by Duke Reid as an 'exclusive' for his celebrated sound system.

A hugely successful career followed, with his proclamatory 'Tougher Than Tough' proving his greatest success of 1967.

TOUGHER THAN TOUGH (RUDIES IN COURT) LYRICS
Written by Derrick Morgan
Copyright Control

Rudies in court, now boys, rudies in court
Rudies in court, now boys, rudies in court

Order!

Now, this court is in session
And I order all you rude boys to stand
You're brought here for gun shooting,
Ratchet using and bomb throwing

Now, tell me, rude boys
What have you to say for yourselves?
Your Honour, rudies don't fear!
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear

Rougher than rough, tougher than tough
Strong like lion, we are iron
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear

Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rougher than rough, tougher than tough
Strong like lion, we are iron

Rudies are free, yes boys, rudies are free
Rudies are free, yes boys, rudies are free

Court adjourn!
