Rhyme Scheme: A BACAADAAAAAE FGHHAIJJ KJLAMAMN M M

By Abubakarr Momoh SesayA
-
The place where slaving ships of nations tradeB
At its mouth where Freetown now standsA
The Cotton Tree where signs of freedom reignC
Emancipation we cry for in our heartsA
From our folks there came slavesA
Where should we settle and cry for employmentD
We secured the future of the settlement and liberated ourselvesA
We are no more slavesA
There came the time for us to live our livesA
We no more lived up to the rule of paying taxes for our hutsA
for we are families not foesA
Patriotic citizens we are to you Mama SaloneE
-
Land of the freeF
But the burden you beared has left us wonderingG
you seem to be sinking into violence and corruptionH
our economy is drowning we have no optionH
Boom there came Saybana and alliesA
Spitting venoms of a civil warI
Old and young folks panic as they hear the sounds of a triggerJ
killing was something so meagerJ
-
MamaK
Range of hills surround your harbourJ
Portraying the natural beauty of your kingdomL
A nation decorated with customs traditions and adorable culturesA
The taste of poyo quenches my thirstM
Stories of different tribes you wouldn t missA
Enjoy to the melodious tunes of the gumbe and bataM
As we dance with our elegant country cloth ronko and lappaN
-
Long live our motherlandM
-
Firm may she ever standM
