LOVE TO MALI

I give my love to Mali
The home of the Desert Blues
Feel the deep rhythms and pulses
On the streets of Timbuktu
I want to sing with the singers
In the heat of Bamako
The desert all around us
The blues so pure and slow

Love to Mali
The guitar flows so freely
Love to Mali
There is the music for me

Men came with bad intentions
To break the music down
You'll never kill that spirit
In the heart of the Desert song
Dear Brother and Sister
Sing your song in the desert land
Your sure lift the spirit
And the heart of an Irishman...

Love to Mali
The guitar flows so freely
Love to Mali
There is the music for me

I want to hear Ali Farke Toure
Everybody said, don't go
I want to hear Toumani Diabate
Everybody said, don't go

Love to Mali
The guitar flows so freely
Love to Mali
There is the music for me
