Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy… [3x]
Down the ocean a ship comes sailing through the waves
Filled with hundreds of men they take as slaves,
Just long for their true Homeland Africa
And to be saved they want to be free.
Men women and babyslaves
Coming to the land of liberty, liberty.
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy… [2x]
They are tired of waiting for a brand new day,
Some of them sing and chant some of them pray
And some men got a little tired too,
No one knows if the journey pay.
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy… [2x]
Down the ocean a ship comes sailing through the waves
Filled with hundreds of men they take as slaves,
Just long for their true Homeland Africa
And to be saved they want to be free.
Men women and babyslaves
Coming to the land of liberty, liberty.
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy… [4x]
