(Fly Away) Little Paraquayo

(Fly Away) Little Paraquayo - George Baker Selection

They came in a white boat

Many years ago

They gave you presents

And promised you a lot

But they locked you on a chain

Put you in a mine

And they said work for the glory of our god

Fly away little paragayo

Spread your wings up to the sky

Fly away little paragayo

'Cause the white man is on the ride

And your body is so hungry

And your mind is filled with fear

Fly away little paragayo

'Cause the soldiers soon be here

They said you're just an indian

Not better than a beast

Only good for workin' like a slave

And so you're swet and run

Till the day is done

While you know you could

Be better in your grave

Fly away little paragayo

Spread your wings up to the sky

Fly away little paragayo

'Cause the white man is on the ride

And your body is so hungry

And your mind is filled with fear

Fly away little paragayo

'Cause the soldiers soon be here

Fly away little paragayo

Spread your wings up to the sky

Fly away little paragayo

'Cause the white man is on the ride

And your body is so hungry

And your mind is filled with fear

Fly away little paragayo

'Cause the soldiers soon be here
