African Herbsman - Original - Bob Marley

All twinklin’lee

Can’t see the right rose when the streams abate

The old slave men might grind slow

But it grinds fine, yeah

African herbsman, why linger on?

Just concentrate, 'cause heaven lives on Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn

With a transplanted heart (yes, how quick they had to part)

(… how quick they had to part)

The remembrance of today

Is the sad feelin’of tomorrow

(… how quick …) Oh (… part), oh yeah

African herbsman, seize your time

I’m takin’illusion on the edge of my mind

I’m takin’losers down thru my life

Down thru my life, yeah (yes, how quick they had to part)

(… how quick they had to part)

Dideh part, yes, they part

In remembrance of today

(… how quick they had to part)

African herbsman, why linger on?

Just concentrate, 'cause your heaven lives on Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn

With a transplanted heart, yes, how (… quick they have to part)

(… how quick they have to part)

In remembrance of today

Brings sad feelings of tomorrow

(Yes, how quick they have to …) Lead me on, oh, Lord, I pray to you

(African herbsman) (African herbsman)

African, African herbsman …
