I've been trying for so long

Trying to forget

The ports of northern africa and the man I met

He said he had a daughter

Maybe I could meet her

He thought I was a trader

Oh, that was how I met

That slave dealer's daughter

Her eyes were black her hair was raven

Her skin was soft and brown

Eighteen years she looked a woman

I thought she'd been around

She'd never met a jailbird? ? ?

I knew that she was lonely

She offered me her body

So I fell in love

With that slave dealer's daughter

Her father's men came after me

Trying to hunt me down

For three long years I've hid my face

And run from town to town

She never met a jailbird

I knew that she was lonely

She offered me her body

So I fell in love

With that slave dealer's daugther...
