How Did I Stray

Mama mama mama woo ayy
Gee, you mercy mama mama mama
Tell I how did I stray
Gee, you mercy mama mama mama
Tell I how did I stray

My father's house abundant bread
And I am starving here everyday
Tell I how did I stray
At the time when they forward the proposal to you
I know it was by force, but you were Gilly gay
Tell I how did I stray

Gee, you mercy mama mama mama
Tell I how did I stray
Gee, you mercy mama mama mama
Tell I how did I stray

Hey mama mama mama Africa wooo
Hey mama mama mama Africa wooo
Twenty-one thousand miles away from home
And you bring me here and treat me here like a bloat

Tell I how did I stray
If you were the stranger and I was the host
I will not treat you like that ayy
Tell I how did I stray
Weigh your justice and weigh go freedom
And see how you treat I inna apartheid system
Tell I how did I stray

Gee, you mercy mama mama mama
Tell I how did I stray

We want to know about this
I leave Africa behind my knowledge and live accidentally
Tell I how did I stray
You used me you refused me and then you turn and abused me
Tell I how did I stray

Gee, you mercy mama mama mama
I want to know
Tell I how did I stray
Gee, you mercy mama mama mama
I want to know
Tell I how did I stray

Gee, you mercy mama mama mama
I want to know
Tell I how did I stray
Long long time I no see you mama Africa
Where are you
Tell I how did I stray
