Root of Africa |
| All twinklin’lee |
| Can’t see the right rose when the streams abate |
| The old slave men might grind slow |
| But it grinds fine, yeah |
| African herbsman, why linger on? |
| Just concentrate, 'cause heaven lives on Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn |
| With a transplanted heart (yes, how quick they had to part) |
| (… how quick they had to part) |
| The remembrance of today |
| Is the sad feelin’of tomorrow |
| (… how quick …) Oh (… part), oh yeah |
| 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 (yes, how quick they had to part) |
| (… how quick they had to part) |
| Dideh part, yes, they part |
| In remembrance of today |
| (… how quick they had to part) |
| 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) |
| (… how quick they have to part) |
| 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 herbsman) (African herbsman) |
| African, African herbsman … |
