G                   Em

All twinklin' lee

                     G                                          Em

Can't see the right rose when the streams abate

        G                   Em

The old slave men might grind slow

                     C      G

But it grinds fine, yeah

               G                              Em

African herbsman, why linger on?

                    G                                    Em

Just concentrate, 'cause heaven lives on

                   G                                           Em

Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn

                                C      D

With a transplanted heart   

yes, how quick they had to part

The remembrance of today

Is the sad feelin' of tomorrow

yes, how quick they had to part  x2

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,

how quick they had to part

Dideh part, yes, they part

In remembrance of today

how quick they had to part  x2

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  x2

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, African herbsman ...
