A Place Called Africa

Lee “Scratch” Perry, Junior Byles

[Chorus]
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
Mama, how did I get-a here?
How did I stray? (Hu-hu-hu-hu)

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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)
Mama, please don't cry

[Outro]
There's a place called Africa far, far away
There's a place called Africa many miles away
