Say, Natty Dreadlocks in the mountain chanting
Tell you, Natty Dreadlocks in the mountain chanting
Natty Dread drinking water from the fountain
Tell you, Natty drinking water from the fountain

While the birds in the tree top singing
Daughters in the garden cultivating
Youths in the lawn near playing
Dread inna the mountain chanting
Babylon in the city feel haunted
Check say, Natty Dreadlocks in the mountain wanting
Babylon lead us quite into the mountain
But when dem come they sight us chanting

Dread inna the mountain chanting
Dread inna the mountain chanting, Natty Dread

Chanting unto Jah, whoa oh
Chanting unto Jah, whoa oh

Babylon come inna the mountain
Ask the Rastaman what cooking, Dreadlock said

Coco, banana and plantain
Coco, banana and plantain
Nah leave the peas and pumpkin
Inna the mountain I sit?

Dread inna the mountain chanting
Dread inna the mountain chanting
Natty Dread drinking water from the fountain
Tell you, Natty drinking water from the fountain

Birds in the tree top singing songs of love
Daughters in the garden cultivating food
Youths in the lawn near playing
Hear Iyabinghi I chanting
Wicked Babylon in the city feel haunted
Check say, Natty Dreadlocks in the mountain wanting
Babylon, leading government inna the mountain

{Hook]
Dreadlocks in the mountain chanting
Tell you, Natty Dreadlocks in the mountain chanting

Lightning! Thunder!
Brimstone and fire!
Earthquake! Thunder!
Brimstone and fire!
