Dread Natural

Dread, Natty Dread now,
A dreadlock Congo Bongo I.
Oh! Children get your culture
And don't stay there and gesture, a-ah,
And you won't get no supper.

Natty Dread, Natty Dread, now;
A dreadlock Congo Bongo I.
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,
Oh Roots, Natty Roots, Natty.

Oh, 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 seh;
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 Dread now,
Dreadlock Congo Bongo I.
Natty Dreadlock in a Babylon -
Oh Roots, Natty Roots, Natty.

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.

Just like a bright and sunny day:
Oh, we're gonna have things our way.
Natty Dread, Natty Dread

Oh, away from home
Oh, be from home

Don't care what the world seh;
I'n'I gonna have things our way.
