Lyrics:

[Intro: Lee Perry]
Natty congo, yes I, dread natty congo
Natty congo, yes I, natt up, natt up, natt up, yeah

[Chorus 1]
Curly Locks, now that I'm a dreadlocks
Your daddy don't want you dealing with me
But it's alright
Curly Locks, now that I'm a dreadlocks
Your mammy don't want you dealing with me

[Verse 1]
The sun is shining, the breeze is a-blowing, too
But all I've got inside is lots of love for you, it's true

[Chorus 2]
Curly Locks, two roads before ya
Which one will be your choice?
Would really like to know that
Curly Locks, your father is a poacher
And he don't want you dealing with me

[Verse 2]
He's a baldhead, I am a congo dread
A living Rastaman, who's got a lots of love for you

[Chorus 2]

But it's alright

[Verse 3]
Thank you, thank you for the letter
It's made me feel better
Tee-tah-toe, that's the way it's gonna go, now

[Chorus 3]
Curly Locks, two roads before ya
You pick your choice
Curly Locks, two roads before ya
You pick, you pick, you pick your choice
Curly Locks, your father is a poacher
I'm a bongo natty, bongo natty, bongo dread
Dread up, dread up, dread up, yeah
Natty congo, bongo natty..
