Ughoyele

I'll sing a praise song To the ughoyele. I'll gladly beat a bong To the ughoyele. It's a symbolic tree Whose existence,the African man Can not deny in accordance with Its' importance. A symbol of eternity A symbol of love And a symbol of friendship. Come the rains and the sun, Come the wet and the dry, You're just as stubborn As the proverbial goat. It takes ages for you To pass on and we all wonder why?
