Buffalo Soldier (Album) - Bob Marley & The Wailers

Buffalo soldier dreadlock rasta

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're 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

Buffalo soldier troddin' through

The land wo-ho-ooh

Said he wanna ran and

Then you wanna hand

Troddin' through the land

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 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
