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

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Driven from the mainland

To the heart of the Caribbean

Singing, woe yoy yoy, woe yoy yoy yoy

Woe yoy yoy yo, yoy yoy yoy yo

Woe yoy yoy, woe yoy yoy yoy

Woe yoy yoy yo, yoy yoy yoy yo

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

Woe yoy yoy, woe yoy yoy yoy

Woe yoy yoy yo, yoy yoy yoy yo

Woe yoy yoy, woe yoy yoy yoy

Woe yoy yoy yo, yoy yoy yoy yo

Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier

A F#m D A 

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


D C#m D C#m // Bm F#m 

If you know your history

Then you would know where you coming from

Then you wouldn't have to ask me

Who the heck do I think I am


A F#m D A 

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta                

Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America


D C#m D C#m // Bm F#m 

I mean it, when I an*lyze the stench

To me it makes a lot of sense

How the Dreadlock Rasta 

Was the Buffalo Soldier


A F#m D A 

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


A F#m D A                                

Singing woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy, 

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
