Natty Dread

Dread, Natty Dread now,
Dreadlock Congo Bongo I.
Natty Dreadlock in a Babylon:
A dreadlock Congo Bongo I.
Eh! Children get your culture
And don't stay there and gesture, a-ah,
Or the battle will be hotter
And you won't get no supper.

Natty Dread, Natty Dread, now;
A dreadlock Congo Bongo I.
Natty Dreadlock in a Babylon -
Roots Natty, Roots Natty!

Then I walk up the first street,
And then I walk up the second street to see.
Then I trod on through third street,
And then I talk to some Dread on fourth street.
Natty Dreadlock in a fifth street,
And then I skip one fence to sixth street.
I've got to reach seventh street:
Natty Dreadlock Bingy Bongo I
Natty dread, Natty Dread, now,
Roots Natty Congo I.

Oh, Natty, Natty,
Natty 21,000 miles away from home, yeah!
Oh, Natty, Natty,
And that's a long way
For Natty to be from home.

Don't care what the world say;
I and I couldn't never go astray.
Just like a bright and sunny day:
Oh, we're gonna have things our way.
Natty Dread, Natty Dreadlock,
Dreadlock Congo Bongo I.
Don't care what the world say;
I'm 'I gonna have things our way.
If a egg Natty in a the red -
If a egg Natty in a the red.
Natty Dread, Natty Dreadlock.
