Natty Don’t Go

[Intro]
Natty Dread, don't go into Babylon
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
It will be dread, dread, dread, dread

[Verse 1]
Remember our days of slavery
Our people sold out to Babylon
Now they try to trick us out of our land
But natty dreads don't go back to Babylon (Natty, don't go)
Remember the pain and the suffering
Jah Jah children bear in Babylon
Now they try to change Jah power plans

[Chorus]
So natty dreads don't go back to Babylon
Natty don't go, it will be dread, it shall be dread
Natty dread, natty dread, natty dread, natty don't go (Yeah)
I beg you natty dread, natty dreads, natty dread, natty don't go

[Verse 2]
And Jesus was sold out for thirty pieces of silver
Martin Luther King also, he was a blessed man (Yeah)
Remember poor Marcus, poor Marcus Garvey
He was our own predictor
Brother Paul Boogle, he fight so hard to save his life (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
So I beg you dread, natty dreads, natty dreads, natty don't go
No, no, no, no
So I beg you dread, natty dreads, natty dreads, natty don't go

[Verse 3]
Remember our days of slavery
How the people sold out to Babylon
Now they try to trick us out of our land
But natty dread don't go back to Babylon
Natty don't go, it will be dread, it shall be dread

[Chorus]
Natty dreads, natty dreads, natty dreads, natty don't go
I beg you dreads, natty dreads, natty dreads, natty don't go
Jesus was sold out for thirty pieces of silver (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
They were a righteous, righteous Rastaman (Yeah, yeah)

[Outro]
So I beg you dreads, natty dreads, natty dreads, natty don't go
Don't go back to Babylon
Natty dreads, natty dreads, natty dreads, natty don't go
