African Herbsman Lyrics by Ziggy Marley

0

Ol' twinkling wheel
Can't see the right roads when the streets are paved
That old slave mill might grind slow
But it grinds fine
African herbsman, why linger on?
Just concentrate, 'cause heaven lives on
Retired slave men, 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, 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
African herbsman
African herbsman
African herbsman
African herbsman
Ol' twinkling wheel
Can't see the right roads when the streets are paved
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 through heir lives
The African herbsman
The African herbsman
The African herbsman
