African Herbsman

A#            Gm 
All twinklin’ lee  
              A#                          Gm 
Can’t see the right rose when the streams abate  
A#                Gm 
The old slave men might grind slow  
              D# 
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 ...
