African Herbsman Lyrics

Bob Marley

Translate to

Old, twinkling gleam
Can′t see the right roads when the streets are paved
The old slave mill
Might grind slow but it grinds fine
African herdsmen, why linger on?
Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on
Retired slave men will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart

Guess how quick they had to part
Guess how quick they had to part
The remembrance of today
Is the sad feeling of tomorrow
Guess how quick they had to part
Oh, oh yeah

African herdsmen, seize your time
I′m taking illusion on the edge of my mind
I'm taking losers down through my life
Down through my life, yeah

Guess how quick they had to part
Guess how quick they had to part
Did they part? Yes, they part
In remembrance of today
Guess how quick they had to part

African herdsmen, why linger on?
Just concentrate 'cause your heaven lives on
Retired slave men will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart

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

African herdsmen (African herdsmen)
African herdsmen (African herdsmen)
African herdsmen
