Who the 'eck do I think I am
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
Driven from the mainland to the heart of the Caribbean
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
Buffalo soldier troddin' through the land, wo-ho-ooh
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy
Then you would know where you're coming from
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier
Said he was a buffalo soldier, win the war for America
Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Singing, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
To me it makes a lot of sense
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy
If you know your history
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Said he was a buffalo soldier, win the war for America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Troddin' through Jamaica, a buffalo soldier
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Buffalo soldier in the heart of America
I'm just a buffalo soldier in the heart of America
Troddin' through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea
I mean it when I analyze the stench
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy
Said he wanna ran and then you wanna hand
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Troddin' through San Juan in the arms of America
