Buffalo Soldier Lyrics - Africa Unite: The Singles Collection - 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

Driven from the main land to the heart of the Caribbean
