Lyrics
Well
Sweet African sunshine
Oh, I know you're my heart
I know you are mine all the time
Every time I look in my mind
I say to myself, I must swim down the river Nile (Mhmm)
And most of the time when I contemplate reminiscing
Yes, I know I'm an African king (Jah know)
'Cause, why?
Though they carry I and I abroad (Mhmm)
And dem work black people so hard (I)
Still we want go back a we yard (Yeah)
A full time we go home a we yard (Yeah)
Sometimes I wonder when we'll be home again
Swimming down the river Nile, just you and me, my friend
When I wonder sometime when we'll be home again
Living up in the ancient sea, what a vibes, my friend
Sometimes I sit and wonder
All the ancient souls in Senegal
In Morocco and down in Nigeria
Tanzania and Gambia
Oh, Lord, I wonder when I'll be home again
When will I get a chance to listen to the drum dem a play, my friend?
When I get a chance to be back home again
Sitting down with mi brethren dem, Akulla, mi friend
Oh, what a feeling
It's like the village road
When the Mama tribe come out to make the rain dance
Dancing in the center of the street
Going around and I feel the heat
I got to move my feet (High)
Yes, them carry I and I come abroad (Oh)
And then dem work black people so hard (Lord, Lord)
And them no want give me lonely yard (Woah)
That's why mi want go back home a mi yard (Yard)
Sometimes I wonder when will I be home again
Dancing and eating with my African friends
Pam Buri Island
Straight back to Haรฏti
I hear the kush is bawling out in Jamaica
Way down in the east
I know there is waiting a feast for me
And I'm ready to go there
Somewhere, Jah so go rock
And I will ever be back down there again
When will I get a chance to sit with my African friends?
