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,

Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Buffalo Soldier troddin’ through the land, wo-ho-ooh!

Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand,

Troddin’ through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea,

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.

Singing, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Troddin’ through San Juan in the arms of America,

Troddin’ through Jamaica, a Buffalo Soldier

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival,

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta.

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love [2x]
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 [3x]
‘Cause if summer is here,
I’m still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I’m still waiting there.

Like I said:
It’s been three years since I’m knockin’ on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there’s lots of grief,
But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn – tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waiting – while I’m waiting for my turn,
See!

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love [5x]
oh!
I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna wait in vain [2x]
No, I don’t wanna (I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna -
I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna wait in vain) -
No I – no I (I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna – I don’t
Wanna – I don’t wanna wait in vain) -
No, no-no, I, no, I (I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna -
I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna wait in vain) -
It’s your love that I’m waiting on (I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna -
I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna wait in vain);
It’s me love that you’re running from.
It’s Jah love that I’m waiting on (I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna -
I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna – I don’t wanna wait in vain);
It’s me love that you’re running from.

Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds,
Pitch by my doorstep,
Singin’ sweet songs,
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, (“This is my message to you-ou-ou:”)

Singin’: “Don’t worry ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”
Singin’: “Don’t worry (don’t worry) ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!”,

Said said said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we’ve lost along the way
In this bright future you can’t forget your past
So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry [2x]
Oh my Little sister, don’t she’d no tears
No woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin’ through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I’ll share with you

My feet is my only carriage
So I’ve got to push on through
But while I’m gone…

Everything’s gonna be alright [8x]

No woman, no cry
No, no woman, no woman, no cry
Oh, little sister, don’t she’d no tears
No woman, no cry

No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlyn no she’d no tears
No woman, no cry, yeah

No woman no cry, no woman no cry [2x]

Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Obba, obba, serving the hypocrites
As the would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we’ve lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can’t forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No woman no cry, no woman no cry
Little darling, don’t she’d no tears, no woman no cry
Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As it was, love would burn on through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I’ll share with you
My fear is my only courage
So I’ve got to push on thru
Oh, while I’m gone

Everything ’s gonna be alright, everything ’s gonna be alright [4x]

So woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
Oh, my little sister
Don’t she’d no tears
No woman no cry
I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was, log would burnin’ through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I’ll share with you
My fear is my only courage
So I’ve got to push on thru
Oh, while I’m gone
No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
