Ziggy Marley - African Herbsman Lyrics

Oh twinkling we

Can't see the right roads when the streets are big

That old slave mill might grind slow

But it grinds fine

African Herbsman why linger on

Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on

Retire slave men will look with a scorn

With a transplanted heart

That's how quick they have to part

That's how quick





The remembrance of today

Sad feeling of tomorrow oh yeah

African herbsman seize your time

Taking illusion to the edge of my mind

Taking loses down through my life

Down through my life yes

That's how quick

That's how quick





Do they part yes they part

In remembrance of today oh yeah

African Herbsman why linger on

Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on

Retired slave men will look with a scorn

With a transplanted heart 'cause that's how quick

That's how quick





The remembrance of today sad feeling of tomorrow

Lead me oh Lord, Lord, Lord I pray

African Herbsman (repeat 5 times)





Oh twinkling we

Can't see the road when the streets are big

That old slave mill might grind slow

But it grinds fine

African Herbsman seize your time

Taking illusion on the edge of my mind

Taking loses down through their lives

Down throught heir lives

The African Herbsman (repeat 3 times)
