To high African people
To high African tribe
To high African people
To high African tribe

They took us away from our father's land
And brought us to slave on their wicked land
They made us work all day and night
With no freedom, and no rights
With no freedom, and no rights

To high African people
To high African tribe
To high African people
African people, know your culture

They took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young and old
But some-oh day we will overcome
When Jah shall redeem us
When Jah shall redeem us (so)

To high African people
To high-high-high African people
To high African people
To high-high-high African people

They took us away from our father's land
And brought us to slave on their wicked land
They made us work all day and night
With no freedom, and no rights
With no freedom, and no rights (so)

To high-high-high African people
To high, to high African tribe
