lyrics
Akila asuma ndeysaan She’s a nice young girl, it’s true
Inje timba nasuma sujuul I love her nice big calves
Hukeng asuma hubeben She has a nice big butt
Nome ekondorool ebet hulong She has lines around her neck
Mina jukeri suma ndeysaan When she looks at you, it’s good, oh yes
Akila asuma Madeline She’s a nice young girl, Madeline
Alomba suma nufaaña She looks good walking in front of you
Hukeng asuma hubeben She has a nice big butt
Ekondorool ebet hulong She has lines around her neck
Mama ujuma tonama ceri Mama when you look her direction, darling
O e o e ya yo we e o ceri ndeysaan Oh ay oh ay ya yo way eyo darling it’s true
Abofen nayab ejonjon (x4) Abofen married a beautiful girl (x4)
Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music.
This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
