Lyrics African Herbman - The Wailers

Ol' twinkling wheel
Can't see the right roads when the streets are paved
The old slave mill might grind slow
But it grinds fine, yeah

African herbman, 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 feelin' of tomorrow
Guess how quick they had to part

African herbman, seize your time
I'm takin' illusion on the edge of my mind
I'm takin' losers down through my life
Down through my line, 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 herbman, 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
Bring sad feelings of tomorrow
Guess how quick they had to part
But lead me on, oh, Lord, I pray

African herbman, African herbman
African, African herbman
