Fly Away Little Paraquayo - George Baker Selection

They come in white boats many years ago

They gave you presents and promised you a lot

But they lock you on a chain

Put you in a mine

And a sad word for the glory of our time

Fly away little Paraguayo

Spread your wings out to the sky

Fly away little Paraguayo

'Cause the white men’s on the ride

And your body is so hungry

And your mind is filled with fear

Fly away little Paraguayo

'Cause the soldiers soon be here

They said you’re just an indian

Not better than a beast

Only good for working like a slave

And so you’re sweat and run

'Til the day is done

While you know you could be better in your grave

Fly away little Paraguayo

Spread your wings out to the sky

Fly away little Paraguayo

'Cause the white men’s on the ride

And your body is so hungry

And your mind is filled with fear

Fly away little Paraguayo

'Cause the soldiers soon be here

Fly away little Paraguayo

Spread your wings out to the sky

Fly away little Paraguayo

'Cause the white men’s on the ride

And your body is so hungry

And your mind is filled with fear

Fly away little Paraguayo

'Cause the soldiers soon be here
