Very well.. I'm leaving
Very well.. I'm leaving

There comes a time in life
When every man got to find his own land, yeah
'Cause this words written
By the Master, by the Master

But while these heathen playing
Trying to keep I and I down
That now, oh Jah, we can't get bread
Can't get bread; so I've got to leave

Very well.. I'm leaving, oh yeah, oh yeah!
Very well.. I'm leaving

Forward I home, forward I bound
Forward I bound, no more turning back, I say
Forward I home, I said I've got to leave this place!
Forward I bound, oh yeah, oh yeah!

Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat
Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat

Very well.. I'm leaving, no more turning back, I say
Very well.. I'm leaving, oh yeah, oh yeah!

Forward I home, forward I bound
Forward I bound, no more turning back
Forward I home, I said I've got to leave this place
Forward I bound

Forward I bound, is anyone to go?

Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat
A do you hear what the man say?
Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat, oh yeah, oh yeah

Very well I'm leaving, no more turning back, I say
Very well I'm leaving, I've got to leave this place once and for all

Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat, who!
Forward I home, and I have been waiting too long!
Forward I bound, and it is time to go home!
Forward I home, I just can't wait any longer!
Forward I bound, too much fooling around!

Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat..
