I leave me people, me land, me homeFor reasons I not too sureI forsake de sunAnd de humming-bird splendourHad big rats in de floorboardSo I pick up me new-world-selfAnd come to this place call EnglandAt first I feeling like I in a dream -De misty greynessI touching the walls to see if they realThey solid to de seamAnd de people pouring from de underground systemLike beansAnd when I look up to de skyI see Lord Nelson high - too high to lie.
