Natty dread

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

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

 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 seh; (Natty Dread)
 I'n'I couldn't never go astray. (Natty Dread)
 Just like a bright and sunny day: (Natty Dread)
 Oh, we're gonna have things our way. (Natty Dread)
 Natty Dread, Natty Dreadlock, (Natty Dreadlock)
 Dreadlock Congo Bongo I. (Natty Dreadlock)
 Don't care what the world seh; (Natty Dreadlock)
