(How quick they had to part?)
Lead me on, oh, Lord, I pray to you
I'm takin' losers down through my life
(Part)
Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart, yes, how
With a transplanted heart
Just concentrate, 'cause Heaven lives on
(Yes, how quick)
African herbsman, why linger on?
Oh
The old slave men might grind slow
But it grinds fine, yeah
Dideh part, yes, they part
(Yes, how quick they have to)
African herbsman, seize your time
(Yes, how quick they have to part?)
(Yes, how quick they had to part?)
In remembrance of today
In remembrance of today
Oh, yeah
The remembrance of today
(How quick they had to part?)
Brings sad feelings of tomorrow
(Quick they have to part?)
I'm takin' illusion on the edge of my mind
Just concentrate, 'cause your heaven lives on
(African herbsman, African herbsman)
Is the sad feelin' of tomorrow
Retired slave men will look with a scorn
(Yes, how quick they had to part?)
Down through my life, yeah
(Yes, how quick they had to part?)
African herbsman, why linger on?
