lyrics
(horns stretch and yawn) Ei, Adjoa... the sun came out for you (la la, la la la) You tie your yellow dress at noon I balance mangoes in a bowl The church bell hums a crooked tune You laugh, and heaven takes a stroll (takes a stroll, takes a stroll) The drummers find us in the yard (in the yard!) They say sweet love should not work hard (no, no) Dance with me slowly, Adjoa (slowly, slowly) Dance with me slowly, Adjoa The palm wine is sweet — you are sweeter Dance with me slowly, Adjoa (oh, Adjoa) Dance with me slowly, Adjoa Till morning walks us home Your mother stirs the groundnut pot She winks and adds a little more I gave the ring all that I've got Now dust is gold across the floor (gold on the floor) Dance with me slowly, Adjoa (slowly, slowly) Dance with me slowly, Adjoa The palm wine is sweet — you are sweeter Dance with me slowly, Adjoa (oh, Adjoa) Dance with me slowly, Adjoa Till morning walks us home When we are old and slow of knee (slow of knee) Same yard, same moon, same you and me (same you and me) Dance with me slowly, Adjoa (slowly, slowly) Dance with me slowly, Adjoa The palm wine is sweet — you are sweeter Dance with me slowly, Adjoa (oh, Adjoa) Dance with me slowly, Adjoa Till morning walks us home (la la, la la la) Slowly, slowly, Adjoa (till morning walks us home)
