A Place Called Africa

There's a place called Africa far, far away (Hu-hu)

There's a place called Africa many miles away

Mom says, that's where we're from

And I know, she can't be wrong

Take me back to Africa

Mom, how did I get-a here?

How did I stray? (Hu-hu-hu-hu)

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 (Hu-hu)

Mama, please don't cry

There's a place called Africa far, far away (Hu-hu)

There's a place called Africa many miles away

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 (Hu-hu)

Mom, please don't cry

There's a place called Africa far, far away

There's a place called Africa many miles away
