abbey lincoln - africa lyrics

[verse 1]
i took a trip to paris, i saw the eiffel tower
i flew to honolulu, it’s a south pacific flower
i traveled away to burma all across the bay of bengal
i went to old malaya, what a perfect locale
traveled here and yonder
and i never found a home
i guess it must be written
all my life to roam

[verse 2]
there’s a land of milk and honey
on the river they call the nile
and every day is bright and sunny
on the river they call the nile
it’s a garden of eden
with richеs untold
and it’s on this land of milk and honey
on the river thеy call the nile

[verse 3]
beautiful, wonderful africa, someday i’m coming
i’m coming for to see the promised land
with days of sunshine and nights of heavenly starlight
it’s a paradise of sea and sky and sand
with some talking drums that tell of love, tell of love and laughter
they’re telling of a new and a brighter day
telling all the people that from here and hereon after
there ain’t gonna be no trouble on the way
[saxophone solo]

[verse 2]
it’s a garden of eden
with riches untold
and it’s on this land of milk and honey
on the river they call the nile

[verse 1]
’cause i took a trip to paris and i saw the eiffel tower
i flew to honolulu, it’s a south pacific flower
i traveled away to burma all across the bay of bengal
i went to old malaya and it’s got a perfect locale
i traveled here and yonder
and i never found a home
i guess it must be written
all my life i’m gonna roam

[verse 4]
gonna roam, roaming now
i’m roaming, right on
going east and west and north and south
i’m roaming
slipping, sliding
moving, going, coming
roaming, roaming, roaming
roaming, roaming
[verse 5]
oh my god
oh my [?]
roaming, roaming
roaming
roaming
roaming
woah, woah, woah

[outro]
it’s gonna be
it’s gonna be
all, all my life to roam
