"High Tide or Low Tide" is the first track of the CD bonus OF the album "Catch a Fire" which is the major-label-debut album for Jamaican reggae band The Wailers, released on Island Records in 1973. The album established the band as international superstars. Leader Bob Marley in particular became world-famous. The socially aware lyrics and militant tone surprised many listeners, but others were attracted to songwriters Marley and Peter Tosh's confrontational subjects and optimistic view of a future free from oppression.

Catch a Fire peaked at #171 and #51 on Billboard's (North America) Pop Albums and Black Albums charts respectively. It is number 123 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, the second highest placement of the five Bob Marley albums on the list, after the posthumous compilation album Legend. It is also regarded as one of the top reggae albums of all time.


- Lyrics:

In high seas or-a low seas,
I'm gonna be your friend
I'm gonna be your friend
In-a high tide or-a low tide,
I'll be by your side
I'll be by your side

(I heard her praying - praying - praying)
I said, I heard my mother
She was praying (praying - praying - praying); yeah, and I
And the words that she said (the words that she said),
They still-a lingers in my head (lingers in my head)
She said: "A child is born in this world,
He needs protection. Wo-oh, mmm
God, guide and protect us
When we're wrong, please correct us
(when we're wrong, correct us),
And stand by me," yeah!

High seas or-a low seas,
I'm gonna be your friend
He said, "I'm gonna be your friend."
And, baby, high tide or low tide,
I'll be by your side
I'll be by your side


(Instrumental break)


Mmm. I said, I heard my mother
She was cryin' (I heard her cryin'), yeah! (cryin', cryin')
And the tears that she shed (the tears that she shed),
They still lingers in my head (lingers in my head)
She said: "A child is born in this world,
He needs protection.
O-oh, mmm
God, guide and protect us
When we're wrong (when we're wrong), correct us." O-oh.
And in high seas or low seas,
I'm gonna be your friend
I'm gonna be your friend
Said, "High tide or low tide,
I'll be by your side
I'll be by your side"
