Buffalo Soldier – Bob Marley

If you know your history
[A/C#]Then you would know where you coming from
Then you wouldn’t have to ask me
[A/C#]Who the heck do I think I am

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America

I mean it, when I analyze the stench
[A/C#]To me it makes a lot of sense
How the Dreadlock Rasta
[A/C#]Was the Buffalo Soldier

And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

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

Chant: x2
Singing 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
