R. Havens - African Herbsman lyrics

rate me

All twinklin' lee<br />

Can't see the right rose when the streams abate<br />

The old slave men might grind slow<br />

But it grinds fine, yeah<br />

<br />

African herbsman, why linger on?<br />

Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on<br />

Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn<br />

With a transplanted heart<br />

(Yes, how quick they had to part)<br />

(How quick they had to part)<br />

<br />

The remembrance of today<br />

Is the sad feelin' of tomorrow<br />

(How quick)<br />

Oh<br />

(Part)<br />

Oh yeah<br />

<br />

African herbsman, seize your time<br />

I'm takin' illusion on the edge of my mind<br />

I'm takin' losers down thru my life<br />

Down thru my life, yeah<br />

(Yes, how quick they had to part)<br />

(How quick they had to part)<br />

<br />

Dideh part, yes, they part<br />

In remembrance of today<br />

(How quick they had to part)<br />

<br />

African herbsman, why linger on?<br />

Just concentrate 'cause your heaven lives on<br />

Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn<br />

With a transplanted heart, yes, how<br />

(Quick they have to part)<br />

(How quick they have to part)<br />

<br />

In remembrance of today<br />

Brings sad feelings of tomorrow<br />

(Yes, how quick they have to)<br />

Lead me on, oh, Lord, I pray to you<br />

<br />

(African herbsman)<br />

(African herbsman)<br />

African, African herbsman
