Verse:
Em
Down the ocean a ship comes riding through the waves
Em
Filled with hundreds of men they take as slaves
G                                 D
Just long for their true Homeland Africa
G                               B
And to be saved they want to be free
Am7
Men, women and baby slaves
Am                    B
Coming to the land of liberty, liberty

Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship aho-o-o-o-oy (ship ahoy)

Verse:

They are tired of waiting for a brand new day
Em
Some of them sing and chant, some of them pray

No one knows if the journey pay
