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)

 (... how quick they had to part)

 

 The remembrance of today

 Is the sad feelin' of tomorrow

 (... how quick ...) Oh (... part), oh yeah

 

 African herbsman, seize your time

 I'm takin' illusion on the edge of my mind

 I'm takin' losers down thru my life

 Down thru 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 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 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 herbsman) (African herbsman)

 African, African herbsman ...
