Richie Havens
African Herbsman
Old Twinkling Lee
Can't see the right roads when the streets are paved
The old slave mill, might grind slow
But it grinds fine... yeah
[Verse 1]
African Herbsman, why linger on?
Just concentrate cuz heaven lives on
Retired slaveman, will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart
[Bridge - Bob Marley and the Wailers]
[The Wailers]
Yes how quick we have to part
Yes how quick we have to part
[Bob]
The remembrance... of today... is the sad feeling of tomorrow...
[The Wailers]
Yes how quick we have to part
[Bob]
Oh, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
African Herbsman, seize your time
I'm taking illusion on the edge of my mind
I'm taking losers down through my life
Down through my life, yeah
[Bridge - Bob Marley and the Wailers]
[The Wailers]
Yes how quick we have to part
Yes how quick we have to part
[Bob]
Did they part? Yes they part!
In remembrance of today...
[The Wailers]
Yes how quick we have to part
[Repeat Verse 1]
[Bridge - Bob Marley and the Wailers]
[The Wailers]
Yes how quick we have to part
Yes how quick we have to part
[Bob]
In remembrance, of today, brings sad feelings of tomorrow
[The Wailers]
Yes how quick we have to part
[Bob]
Believe me oh, oh lord I praise
