Lyrics
come mr carry man and carry me away. Throw me on the back of ye olde slave trade. The Oba don't remember what the Portugueses heard because of Benin don;t fall back on his word.
Down in the jungle, in the jungle there's a tribe. In the tribe men, women, chidlren don;t escape with their lives. The Oba need a dollar, but a dollar doesn't pay because the reason for the dollar cause his country decay.
