Lyric discussion by johndoe1204 

1st of all he say's log wood, not love wood. He's talking about how Georgie would keep a fire lit as Bob and his friends played music till the early hours of the morining. 2nd of all it's corn meal porridge not wholemeal porridge. And finally Bob didn't even write the song, his childhood brethren Vincet Ford AKA Tarter wrote the song for Bob.

Actually, he gave Tarter the credit for the song to show is gratitude for supporting him in his poverty; Bob may very well have been the song’s actual writer.

@jerambam, I think Tata wrote the lyrics but Marley did the music. Tata also taught Bob how to play the guitar, so these are deep roots.
