Yah know seh, we haffi go back to whea you from
Y'know, yeah, cause everybody's from somewhere

There is no hiding place down there; there is no hiding place down there
I went to the rocks to hide my face, the rocks cried out no hiding place
There is no hiding place down there
Oh, the sinner man he stumbles and he falls
Yes, the sinner man he stumbles and he falls, oh mama
The sinner man he stumbles, he stumbles and he falls
He wants to go to heaven, but he must go to hell, eh!
Oh, the sinner man he stumbles and he falls
I went to the rocks to hide my face
The rocks cried out, no hiding place, eh!
There is no hiding place down there
The sinner man he stumbles, he stumbles and he falls
He wants to go to heaven, but he must go to hell, eh!
Oh the sinner man he stumbles and he falls

I say one bright summer time when the war is over, I'll sail away home
Oh Jah, am going back home to Ghana my motherland

Whilst there is sunshine up high in my country yeah yeah

CHORUS
Swing low, swing chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
I see a band of angels coming out for me, coming forth to carry me home
Open the gates of Africa, remove the barrier
Hurry all West Indians, hurry African Americans
Repatriation, repatriation, am going back home to Ghana my motherland
Ghana the gateway to Africa
Cos am fed up with living in America and Europe
Cos there is freedom up high in Africa, yeah
Ghana, am coming back home
