Marrakesh - Goombay Dance Band

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

To the city of gold near the sky

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

Where the troubles of life drift on by Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

Sings the rain when I can`t sleep at night

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

Cries the wind calling me to Marrakesh.

Where is my home, where is my land?

(way down in Africa)

Where is my love, where are my friends?

(way down in Africa)

Couldn’t make a living there,

Had to find a job somewhere

Changed my name, took a plane and went away —

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

Says my heart when I feel all alone.

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

You will find peace of mind in Marrakesh

People put me down — treat me like a clown I take it

(Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh)

Savin ev`ry dime, knowing I`ll be fine some day

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

Cries the wind calling me to Marrakesh

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

To the city of gold near the sky

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

Where the troubles of life all the hustle

And strife will go by Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh!

Yells the train rollin` by in the dark

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh!

I`ll be free, I`ll be me in Marrakesh.

People put me down — treat me like a clown I take it

(Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh!)

Saving ev`ry dime, knowing I`ll be fine some day.

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh

You will find peace of mind in Marrakesh

Marrakesh, come to Marrakesh!

I’II be free, I`ll be me in Marrakesh …
