Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

I mean it, when i analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier,
And he was taken from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta -
Buffalo soldier in the heart of america.

If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldn't have to ask me,
Who the 'eck do i think i am.

I'm just a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america.

Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Driven from the mainland to the heart of the caribbean.

Old pirates, yes, they rob i;
Sold i to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'cause all i ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'cause all i ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time i rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t'rough.
But i know, now, that i'm way down on your line,
But the waitin' feel is fine:
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'cause i know i have to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think i'm dumb;
I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon.
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
'cause if summer is here,
I'm still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And i'm still waiting there.

And i still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for i to knock some more.

But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn

In the government yard in trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the hypocrites - yeah!
As they would,
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah!
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way, yeah!
In this great future, you can't forget your past;
So dry your tears, i seh.

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry. eh, yeah!
Here little darlin', don't shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry. eh!

Seh - seh - said i remembaa when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown, yeah!
And then georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was, logwood burnin' through the nights, ahh
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which i'll share with you, ooo
My feet is my only carriage
And so i've got to push on through.
But, while i'm gone,

Everything's gonna be all right! x7

So no, woman, no cry;
No, no woman,

O ma little sister, don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

ACOUSTICS!!

(i shot the sheriff
But i didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! oh!
I shot the sheriff
But i didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! all around in my home town,
They're tryin' to track me down;
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But i say:

Oh, now, now. oh!
(i shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff.
(but i swear it was in selfdefence.)
Oh, no! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!
I say: i shot the sheriff - oh, lord! -
(and they say it is a capital offence.)
Yeah! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!

Sheriff john brown always hated me,
For what, i don't know:
Every time i plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow -
He said kill them before they grow.
And so:

Read it in the news:
(i shot the sheriff.) oh, lord!
(but i swear it was in self-defence.)
Where was the deputy? (oo-oo-oh)
I say: i shot the sheriff,
But i swear it was in selfdefence. (oo-oh) yeah!

Freedom came my way one day
And i started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden i saw sheriff john brown
Aiming to shoot me down,
So i shot - i shot - i shot him down and i say:
If i am guilty i will pay.

(i shot the sheriff,)
But i say (but i didn't shoot no deputy),
I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
(i shot the sheriff.) i did!
But i didn't shoot no deputy. oh! (oo-oo-ooh)

Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be:
Every day the bucket a-go a well,
One day the bottom a-go drop out,
One day the bottom a-go drop out.
I say:

I - i - i - i shot the sheriff.
Lord, i didn't shot the deputy. yeah!
I - i (shot the sheriff) -
But i didn't shoot no deputy, yeah! no, yeah!
