Dash Crofts, 1971) From the albums SUMMER BREEZE
(1972), SUDAN VILLAGE (1976) and LIFT UP YOUR
VOICES AND SING, VOL. 3 (1997).

I used to look out from my window and see the tall
grass in the wind. Standing there just like
advance guards waiting for the battle to begin. My

I don't care where we go. Take me I just want to
know what I used to know. Take me there, take me
there, I don't care where we go. Take me there,
take me I just want to go.

My father's hair has turned to grey now. I never

And now I look out from my mountain and see the
soldiers in the field. It won't be long now 'til

real.

Come on, come on and Take me there, take me there,
I don't care where we go. Take me I just want to
know what I used to know. Take me there, take me
there, I don't care where we go. Take me there,
take me I just want to go.
