African Herbsman Lyrics | Bob Marley and The Wailers | Reggae Masters

All twinklin’ lee Can’t see the right roads when the streets are paved The old slave men might grind slow But it grinds fine, yeah African herbsman, why linger on? Just concentrate, ’cause heaven lives on Retired 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 through my life Down through 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 Songwriters: REID, ROY (P/K/A I-ROY)
