Herb Tree Songtext
von Daweh Congo

Ask dem out there in di society
Why so much controversy over one herb tree?
One herb tree

One little herb tree
I plant it on my farm
Someone saw it there
Thought that they should press the alarm
So one Thursday afternoon
As I man herb was sewn
Just coming into bloom
Babylon kick off di door to mi room
Dem seh "Herb (herb) tree"

They wanted to arrest me
For one herb tree (herb tree)
Can you believe me
Mi say mask di kutchie
Mi say mask di kutchie
Not eh lil herb tree


They were harassing me for one herb tree (herb tree)
Can you believe me
One herb tree banned by society

Now one superintendent
Him call it high grade ashes
He was rubbing his eyes for a moment
Seh him see a man jump cross di fence
But minutes before they came
Me and my friend ganja tea from stain
Burn off the tree, it was pouring rain
We threw the ashes down in the drain

So the herb tree
The Babylon they could not find that one herb tree (herb tree)
Can you believe me
Mi say mask the kutchie
Mi say mask di kutchie fimme
Herb tree
The Babylon was harassing me for one herb tree (herb tree)
Can you believe me
One herb tree banned by society


So one magistrate resident
She was there to pass judgment
And because it was my first offense
She say that she would be lenient
John Brown the plaque of court
Him swear and take the oath
Say that he would neva sniff coke
Herbs and spices I and I promote

I say herb (herb) tree
I pleaded not guilty for one herb tree (herb tree)
Can you believe me
I never have no money fi pay lawyer fee
Not eh lil, herb tree
They wanted to arrest me
For one herb tree (herb tree)
Can you believe me
Seh one herb tree
What a controversy

One little herb tree
I plant it on my farm
And someone saw it there
Thought that they should press the alarm
So one Thursday afternoon
As I man herb was sewn
Just coming in to to bloom
Babylon kick off di door to mi room
Dem seh "Herb (herb) tree"

They wanted to brutalize me
For one herb tree (herb tree)
Can you believe me
Mi say mask the kutchie
Quickly mask di kutchie
Not eh lil herb tree
They wanted to arrest me
For one herb tree (herb tree)
Can you believe me
I never did see so much controversy
Over one herb tree (herb tree)
Weh mi bring from country
