Ziggy Marley Lyrics
"African Herbsman"

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 Herbman, 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

Yes, how quick they had to part

The remembrance of today is the sad feelin' of tomorrow

Yes, how quick, oh, had to part, oh yeah

African Herbman, 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

Yes, how quick they had to part

Did they part? Yes, they part in remembrance of today

Yes, how quick they had to part

African Herbman, 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

Yes, how quick they have to part

In remembrance of today brings sad feelings of tomorrow

Yes, how quick they have to part, lead me on, oh, Lord, I pray

African Herbman

African Herbman

African, African Herbman
