Lyrics

Dread, natty dread now, (natty dread)
Dreadlock congo bongo i. (natty dread)
Natty dreadlock in a babylon: (natty dread)
A dreadlock congo bongo i. (natty dread)
Oh! 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 we won't get no supper. (natty dreadlock)

Natty dread, natty dread, now; (natty dread)
A dreadlock congo bongo i. (natty dread)
Natty dreadlock in a babylon - (natty dread)
Oh, roots,natty roots, natty! (natty dread)

Then I walk up the first street, (natty dreadlock)
And then I walk on 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)
Oh roots, natty roots, natty. (natty dread)

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; (natty dread)
I and 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 dread now, (natty dreadlock)
Dreadlock congo bongo i. (natty dreadlock)
Natty dreadlock in a babylon - (natty dread)
Oh roots, natty roots, natty. (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

Just like a bright and sunny day: (natty dread)
Oh, we're gonna have things our way. (natty dread)
Natty dread, natty dread (natty dreadlock)
Oh roots, natty roots, natty. (natty dread)

Oh, away from home
Oh, be from home

(Natty dread)4x

Don't care what the world seh; (natty dreadlock)
I'n'i gonna have things our way. (natty dreadlock)
If a egg natty in a the red - (natty dreadlock)
If a egg natty in a the red. (natty dreadlock)
Natty dread, natty dreadlock. /fadeout/
