Can't see the right rose when
The old slave men might grind
But it grinds fine, yeah
African herbsman, why linger on?
Just concentrate, 'cause heaven
Greet-I-eth slave men will look
With a transplanted heart (yes,
how quick they had to part)
(... how quick they had to part)
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
(... 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)
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 ...
