  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
  (repeat as above)
  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...
