Natty Dread

Natty dread

Natty dread

Children get your culture
And don't stay there and gesture
Or the battle will be hotter
And you won't get no supper, oh-no

Natty dread, natty dread now (natty dread)
A dreadlock Congo Bongo I (natty dread)
Natty dreadlock in a Babylon (natty dread)
Roots Natty, roots Natty (natty dread)

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 dread)

Natty dreadlock in a fifth street (natty dread)
And then I skip one fence to sixth street (natty dread)
I've got to reach seventh street (natty dread)
Roots natty Congo I

Natty, twenty-one-thousand miles away from home

Don't care what the world said
I'n'I could never go astray
Just like a bright and sunny day
I'n'I could never go astray
Natty dread, natty dread, now
Dreadlock Congo Bongo I

Natty dreadlock in a Babylon
Roots natty, roots natty
Natty dread, natty dread, now
Dreadlock Congo Bongo I
Natty dreadlock in a Babylon
