African Herbsman - Ziggy Marley And The Melody Makers, Harry "T"

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

Down through heir lives
