Lyrics
Tonight I think of my home
The home where I was born
I think of my family
And the poor farmhouse we had
There in my home
We had no sophistication
We had no timepiece
The cockcrow and the sun all we had
Rise early at sun-up
We'd go to the farms
Drive the monkeys away from the maize farms
And the birds away from the rice farms
Come back home at sundown
Sometimes a little later
Women get busy on pounded yam
And we'd all eat together
Then I moved into Lagos
Where I am right now
Here in Lagos
No one cares for none
They fight and scramble for buses
They're always on the move
Never enough accommodation
And the roads are always jammed
Oh yes, I think of my home
The songs of the birds in the morning
I think of my family
And the poor farmhouse we had
Tonight I think of my home
The home where I was born
I think of my family
And the poor farmhouse we had
