Great tune!
I need some help with the lyrics. Please fill in the gaps and/or correct me where I'm wrong.
This is what I have:

I and I a dreadlocks oh yeah dreadlocks

Look how long I've been around
And you don't know yourself
I don't pick rocks (?) ........ (???) dreadlocks man

Solomon a dreadlock, Moses a dreadlock
.... (?) a dreadlock, Aaron a natty dread

Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Congo dreadlock oh yeah (x2)

Remember when Moses went up on the hill
And then he come forward a dreadlocks man
Now you want to tell, I and I see, that Moses wasn't a dreadlocks man

Moses a dreadlock, Solomon a natty dread
.... (?) a dreadlock, you're coming from the land of the tribe of Judah

Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Congo dreadlocks oh yeah (x2)

Come on now preach it, you say (???) oh yeah

Remember when Moses went up on the hill,
And then he comes forward a dreadlocks man
Now you want to tell I and I that Moses wasn't a dreadlocks man

Solomon a dreadlock, Moses a dreadlock
... (?) a dreadlock, all a we a natty dread

Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Congo dreadlocks oh yeah (x2)
Solomon a dread, Moses a dread
I and I a dread, all a we a natty dread

Salomon, Moses, David a dreadlock! And I think the first line is "how long YOU'VE been around".

Where you wrote "Come on now preach it, you say (???) oh yeah" I understand:

Come on natty dreadlocks, know yourself, uh-yeah

I and I a dreadlocks oh yeah dreadlocks

Look how long You've been around
And you don't know yourself
All those great prophet, priest and king in those times were dreadlocks man

Solomon a dreadlock, Moses a dreadlock
David a dreadlock, Aaron a natty dread

Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Congo dreadlock oh yeah (x2)

Remember when Moses went up on the hill
And then he come forward was dreadlocks man
Now you want to tell, I and I see, that Moses wasn't a dreadlocks man

Moses a dreadlock, Solomon a natty dread
David a dreadlock, you're coming from the land of the tribe of Judah

Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Congo dreadlocks oh yeah (x2)

Come on natty dreadlocks, know yourself, oh yeah

Remember when Moses went up on the hill,
And then he come forward was a dreadlocks man
Now you want to tell. to tell I and I that Moses wasn't a dreadlocks man

Solomon a dreadlock, Moses a dreadlock
David a dreadlock, all a we a natty dread

Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Jessy Black, Congo dreadlocks oh yeah (x2)
Solomon a dread, Moses a dread
I and I a dread, all a we a natty dread
