African Herbman Songtext
von The Wailers

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 the 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 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)
(How quick they had to part)

Dideh part, yes, they part
In remembrance of today
(How quick they had to part)

African herbman, why linger on?
Just concentrate, ′cause your heaven lives on
Greet I the 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 herbman) (African herbman)
African, African herbman ...
