Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh,
To the city of gold near the sky,
Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh,
Where the troubles of life drift on by.
“Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh”, ―
Sings the rain when I can't sleep at night.
“Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh”, ―
Cries the wind calling me to Marrakesh.
Where is my home, where is my land?
(way down in Africa)
Where is my love, where are my friends?
(way down in Africa)
Couldn’t make a living there,
Had to find a job somewhere
Changed my name, took a plane and went away…
“Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh”, ―
Says my heart when I feel all alone.
Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh,
You will find peace of mind in Marrakesh.
People put me down, treat me like a clown, I take it
(Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh),
Saving every dime, knowing I'll be fine some day!
“Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh”, ―
Cries the wind calling me to Marrakesh.
Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh,
To the city of gold near the sky.
Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh,
Where the troubles of life all the hustle and strife will go by…
“Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh!”, ―
Yells the train rollin' by in the dark.
Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh! ―
I'll be free, I'll be me in Marrakesh.
People put me down, treat me like a clown, I take it
(Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh),
Saving every dime, knowing I'll be fine some day!
Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh,
You will find peace of mind in Marrakesh.
Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh! ―
I’II be free, I'll be me in Marrakesh.
