Lyrics

Don't take natty dread, don't take natty dread
For a puppy show, for a puppy show
Don't take natty dread, don't take natty dread
For a puppy show
Natty dread, be upright now
Natty dread, stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter and say you a suffer
Just be upright now, and wear your locks now (For)
Moses was a great man
The greatest leader ever trod this land
Lead Jah Jah children out of Babylon
And he, he was a natty dread
Natty dread, be upright now
Nayah man, stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter and say you a suffer
Just be upright now, and wear your locks now ('Cause)
Solomon was a wise man
The wisest man ever trod this land
He got wisdom, knowledge, understanding from Jah
He was a natty dread
Natty dread, be upright now
Nayah man, stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter and say you a suffer
Just be upright now, and wear your locks now
Don't take natty, don't take natty
For a puppy show, for a puppy show
Don't take natty, don't take natty
For a puppy show, for a puppy show
Natty dread, be upright now (Oh)
Nayah man, stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter and say you a suffer
Just be upright now, and wear your locks now (For)
Samson was a strong man
The strongest man ever trod this land
Beat down Babylon with a jawbone of an ox
And he, he was a natty dread
Natty dread, be upright now (Oh)
Nayah man, stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter and say you a suffer
Just be upright now
