There's a place called Africa, far, far away, woo-woo
There's a place called Africa, many miles away
Mama says that's where I'm from
And I know she can't be wrong
Take me back to Africa, Mama, how did I get here?
How did I stray? Woo-woo-woo
She said, once upon a time, my son
They stowed us on a ship
We had to work and slave each day
The boss, he took our pay
But a brighter sun has dawned today
They can't stop us, come what may
A time shall come for you and I
She bowed her head and cried, woo-woo
Mama, please don't cry
