I saw the whiteman coming
He's getting off his plane
He gets in his big land-rover
And heads from the mines
Go, Rosemary
I saw the whiteman coming
He's coming to steal
And he's coming to rape
And he calls it business
I saw the black man waiting
He's ready to rob his brothers
And to give away his sisters
For a couple of US dollars
I saw the black nurses wondering
Yeah wondering why, why, why
They keep sending all these white nurses
To take away their jobs
Then I saw Art and Tom coming
They get off the train
They're all geared up to record
And they're totally insane
I saw the white girls coming
Yeah coming to get
Oh what they can't get at home
It's cheap it's fun
And it don't last too long
I saw the businessmen coming
And cheating on their wives
With underage girls
Buzzing around their hives
And I saw you coming back a year ago
Oh won't you please, please tell me more
All about your voyage
All the things that you did
And all the people you met
Now I wanna know
All the cars that you drove
And all the girls you've been fooling around with
And I saw you
I saw you coming back
A year ago
