Ship ahoi

In the motion of the ocean hear the cold wind blowing

Down the ocean a ship comes riding 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 baby slaves

Coming to the land of liberty liberty

Ship ahoi ship ahoi ship ahoi ship ahoi

Ship ahoi

Ship ahoi ship ahoi ship ahoi ship ahoi

Ship ahoi

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 ahoi ship ahoi ship ahoi ship ahoi

Ship ahoi

Down the ocean a ship comes riding 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 baby slaves

Coming to the land of liberty liberty
