Lyrics

Gone Ghana Girl

Kiti, I have to say goodbye to you, Kiti.
But not goodbye forever, oh Kiti.
I’ve known you since you were a little girl,
a joyful, laughing, sweet little girl. Oh Kiti.
I’m leaving.
And you become the teacher now, Kiti.
You’ll teach about freedom now, Kiti.
I love you.
I’ll miss you, but not forever.
You taught me more than you could ever have learned from me.

Chorus: Some day, I will meet you
on the road from sorrow.
On that day the Lord will come down
and all His children will see through His eyes.

Been teaching mission school since after the war.
And Kiti, my bright one, now have students of your own.
Tho all your girls will love you, there be a special one who
steals your heart like you stole mine.
Now you know why I am crying.

I’m leaving Ghana, but Ghana been my home.
‘Cause home is where your heart is, and my heart belongs to you.
I love you.
I’ll miss you, but not forever.
You taught me more than you could ever have learned from me,
Kiti, pretty girl.

Chorus
