Black Nile Lyrics by Gregory Porter

Water

2011

Hey come along with me
Let your spirit run free
Along the old black Nile
Hey, take my hand and see
Creations planned a long the old black Nile
My ancestry, history is calling me
Come on, let's see, hey, just how it used to be
Hey come along with me
Let your spirit run free
Along the old black Nile
Come along with me
Come along with me
Come along with me
Come along with me
Let your spirit run free
Hey, hey
Hey, take my hand and see
Creations planned a long the old black Nile
My ancestry, history is calling me
Come on, let's see, hey just how it used to be
Old black Nile
Hey come along with me
Just let your spirit run free
Let it run free
Hey, take my hand and see
Creations planned a long the old black Nile
My ancestry, history is calling me
Come on, let's see, how it used to be
