Congo - Johnny Clegg

White stone hidden in the ground

Gonna take a life before it’s found

(Indlela yase congo, Indlela yase congo)

Tribesman from jungle town

He’s heading down to the digging mound

(Indlela yase congo, Indlela yase congo)

Young man in the sun

Dig for diamonds everyone

Soldiers in camouflage

Drinking and playing cards

Life pulsing with such hope

We digging down deep in the river slope

(Indlela yase congo, Indlela yase congo)

Shiny stone set me free

I’ll go home a big daddy

(Indlela yase congo, Indlela yase congo)

Freedom is food to eat

Good, strong boots upon your feet

Can you sneak a small stone

By a waiting soldier’s hungry eye?
