Rub, rub, rubby-doo-day

Rum-pum-pum a-rum-pum-pum-pum!

Dready got a job to do

And he's got to fulfill that mission

To see his hurt is their greatest ambition, yeah!

But-a we will survive in this world of competition

'Cause no matter what they do

Natty keep on comin'through

And no matter what they say-ay-ay-ay

Natty de deh every day. yeah!

Natty Dread rides again

Through the mystics of tomorrow

Natty Dread rides again

Have no fear, have no sorrow, yeah!

All and all you see a-gwan

Is to fight against Rastaman

So they build their world in great confusion

To force on us the devil's illusion

But the stone that the builder refuse

Shall be the head cornerstone

And no matter what game they play

Eh, we got something they could never take away

We got something they could never take away

And it's the fire (fire) , it's the fire (fire)

That's burning down everything

Feel that fire (fire) , the fire (fire)

Only the birds have their wings, yeah!

No time to be deceived

Oh, brothers, you should know and not believe

Jah say this judgement - it could never be with water

No water could put out this fire (fire)

This fire (fire) , this fire (fire)

This fire (fire) , a yaga y'all! Ride, Natty, ride!

Go deh, Dready, go deh

'Cause now the fire is out of control

Panic in the city, wicked weeping for their gold!

Everywhere this fiyah is burning

Destroying and melting their gold

Destroying and waisting their souls

Go ride, Natty, ride!

Go deh, Dready! Go deh!

Tell you what: now the people gather on the beach

And the leader try to make a speech

But the Dreadies understandin' that it's too late

Fire is burning

Man, pull your own weight!

Fiyah is burning

Man, pull your own weight!

Natty Dread rides again (Natty Dread rides again)

And me say, Go deh, Dready! Go deh! (go deh, go deh)

Oh ride, Natty, ride! (Dread rides again)

And go deh, Dready! (Go deh, go deh)

Ridin' through the storm

Riding through the calm (go deh, go deh)

Oh ride, Natty, ride!

Go deh, Dready, go deh!

Ride, Natty, ride!

Go deh, Dready, do deh!
