Oh twinkling we Can't see the right roads when the streets are big That old slave mill might grind slow But it grinds fine African Herbsman why linger on Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on Retire slave men will look with a scorn With a transplanted heart That's how quick they have to part That's how quick
The remembrance of today Sad feeling of tomorrow oh yeah African herbsman seize your time Taking illusion to the edge of my mind Taking loses down through my life Down through my life yes That's how quick That's how quick
Do they part yes they part In remembrance of today oh yeah African Herbsman why linger on Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on Retired slave men will look with a scorn With a transplanted heart 'cause that's how quick That's how quick
The remembrance of today sad feeling of tomorrow Lead me oh Lord, Lord, Lord I pray African Herbsman (repeat 5 times)
Oh twinkling we Can't see the road when the streets are big That old slave mill might grind slow But it grinds fine African Herbsman seize your time Taking illusion on the edge of my mind Taking loses down through their lives Down through their lives The African Herbsman (repeat 3 times)
