Yee wooo, majii bo mo yooo
Yee wooo, Tiyagwe le le mo
I walked barefoot, I wore hand-me-downs
I near died of drought, but now I fear to drown
I, too, was a slave, I was told to die
I was locked into history before I learned to fly
First you showed me how to douse my fear
Then you taught me how to feel, I think
Then you saved me from myself, I sense
Baby, let me buy you a drink
Baby, let me buy you a drink
I ran with the hare and stalked with the hound
I stared at my shoes while you were lying bound
I once was a thief, one who stole of your soul
Now I've come to rectify before I get too old
First you showed me how to douse my fear
Then you taught me how to feel, I think
Then you saved me from myself, I sense
Baby, let me buy you a drink
Baby, let me buy you a drink
Yee wooo, majii bo mo yooo
Yee wooo, Tiyagwe le le mo
Water is a fire; water isn't wet
Water is a higher power; water never forgets
And there's been too much sorrow, there's been so much wrong
But water has the healing power; water, soft and strong
Let me buy you a drink
Baby, let me buy you a drink
Baby
Baby
Yee wooo, majii bo mo yooo
Yee wooo, Tiyagwe le le mo
Yee wooo, majii bo mo yooo
Yee wooo, Tiyagwe le le mo
Let me buy you a drink
