Lyrics

In The Gambia

Sail away to Africa with me
On the river Gambia we'll be
See a new day dawning as we sail into the sun
Hey-la in The Gambia
Hey-la in The Gambia

The river Gambia she comes and goes
From the river banks we see her flow
Carrying the water she's giving to the land
Hey-la in The Gambia
Hey-la in The Gambia

Reach into the water, hold it in your hand
The spirit of the people living in this land
Down the generations with every song you hear
Rolling like the river that flows
For a thousand years

Hey-la in The Gambia
Hey-la in The Gambia
Dancing in the villages and singing in the fields
Hey-la in The Gambia
Hey-la in The Gambia

Sail away to Africa with me
Along the river Gambia we'll be
Sing this song forever as we sail into the sun
Hey-la in The Gambia
Hey-la in The Gambia

Hey-la in The Gambia
Hey-la in The Gambia
Dancing in the villages and singing in the fields
Hey-la in The Gambia
Hey-la in The Gambia
