Boney M. - Ride to Agadir lyrics

They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills
Leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and
The children of our sons
For the ashes of our fathers and
The children of our sons

In the dry winds of summer
They were sharpening the blades
They were riding to act upon
The promise we had made
With the fist and the dagger
With the rifle and the lance
We will suffer no intrusion from
The Infidels of France
We will suffer no intrusion from
The Infidels of France

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir

They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir

Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land
On the ride to Agadir

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir

Though they were waiting
And they were fifty to our ten
They were easily outnumbered by a
Smaller force of men
As the darkness was falling
They were soon to realize
We were going to relieve them
Of their God-Forsaken lives
We were going to relieve them
Of their God-Forsaken lives

They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir

Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land
On the ride to Agadir

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir

They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills
Leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and
The children of our sons
For the ashes of our fathers and
The children of our sons
