Black Hair

The girl with long black hair 
She ties it in tail-pair
Which flies in air 
As she jumps from chair to chair 
The black girl that grows 
Those
Beautiful rose
Oh! those 
Beautiful rose
Where the water flows 
Near the lake 
Every morning as she wake 
And swim in the lake 
She water those
Beautiful red rose
Dance like a snake 
On the rock near the lake 
Black is what she take 
Her identity she never fake 
My Black girl
My Gambian girl
My West African girl
My African girl
She give me a grain of love
We share like dove 
In her heart I live 
My heart I give 
My yesterday
My today 
My tomorrow 
She wipe my sorrow
My Black girl
My Gambian girl
My West African girl
My African girl
