sam manning - african blues lyrics
[verse 1]
i was born way down in west indies
and my dear old mammy taught me
to love the fields of corn where i was born
but of late i’ve got a teaching
that has set my heart a+yearning
for a land far away across the sea
[chorus 1]
country man, gee! i’ve got those africa blues
oh country man, it’s the blues that i can’t refuse
they say the sunny skies just harmonize
with my ebony skin and my coal+black eyes
country man, true, i’ve got those africa blues
[verse 2]
country man, don’t try to stop me
country man, don’t try to block me
let me go where therе ain’t no ice and there ain’t no snow
whеn you miss, when you miss my familiar face, i’m gone
to the land where i belong
africa, that land of the blazing sun
[chorus 1]
country man, gee! i’ve got those africa blues
country man, it’s the blues that i can’t refuse
they say the sunny skies just harmonize
with my ebony skin and my coal+black eyes
country man, true, i’ve got those africa blues
[instrumental break]
[chorus 2]
oh country man, get your bundle and come with me
country man, to that land far across the sea
ain’t no time to be flirtin’ around
ain’t no time to be sheiking the town
country man, gee, i’ve got those africa blues
