Buffalo Soldier Version (JA 7“) Songtext
von Bob Marley & The Wailers

Buffalo Soldier, dreadlock Rasta
It was a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

If you know your history
Then you would know where you′re coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the heck 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 in the war for America


Said he
Woe-yoe-yoe, woe-yoe-yoe-yoe
Woe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe
Woe-yoe-yoe, woe-yoe-yoe-yoe
Woe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe

Buffalo Soldier
Troddin' through the land, oh
Said he would've ran and make him want to hang
Troddin′ through the land, yeah

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier in the war for America
Buffalo Soldier, dreadlock Rasta
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Driven from the main land to the heart of the Caribbean

Sing it
Woe-yoe-yoe, woe-yoe-yoe-yoe
Woe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe
Woe-yoe-yoe, woe-yoe-yoe-yoe
Woe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe-yoe
