Natty Dread lyrics

Dread, natty dread now

Dreadlock congo bongo I

Natty dreadlock in a Babylon

A dreadlock congo bongo I

Children get your culture

And don't stay there and gesture

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

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 could a-never go astray

Just like a bright and sunny day

Oh, we're gonna have things our-our way

Natty dread, natty dreadlock

Dreadlock congo bongo I

Don't care what the world say

I and I gonna have things our way

If a egg natty in a di red

If a egg natty in a di red 

Natty dread, natty dreadlock
