Bob Marley & The Wailers African Herbsman lyrics

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 herbsman, 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, oh, oh yeah
(Yes, how quick they had to part)

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)
(Yes, how quick they had to part)


Dideh part? Yes, they part
In remembrance of today
(Yes, 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 had to part)
(Yes, how quick they had to part)

In remembrance of today
Brings sad feelings of tomorrow
(Yes, how quick they had to part)
But lead me on, oh Lord, I pray

African herbsman, African herbsman
African, African herbsman
