(Natty dread will never run away) no, no, no
(Natty dread will never run away)
Marcus Garvey, prophesy say, oh yeah
Man a go find him back against the wall, yeah
It a go bitter when the right times comes
Lord, some a go charge fi treason
An' when the right time come, yeah, some a go charge fi arson
An' when the right time come, Lord, some a go charge fi murder
An' when the law man come, some a go run 'til dem tumble dung
An' when the parson come, him a go quote de scripture
Swallow field a go be in a, the battle field, yeah, yeah
(Natty dread will never run away) no, no, no
(Natty dread will never run away) no, my brethen
(This here a prophecy) hold dem Marcus
(This here a prophecy) hold dem Marcus
Swallow field a go be inna de battlefield, yeah, yeah
(Natty dread will never run away) no, no, no

An' when the right time come, some a go charge fi arson
An' when the right time come, oh yeah, some a go charge fi murder
An' when the law man come, oh, some a go run 'til dem tumble dung
An' when the parson come, yeah, him a go quote de Scripture
Swallow field a go be, yeah, the battlefield
