I sat down and took my ease
With some lovely Sudanese
Took my ease, if you please
With some lovely Sudanese
They’ve got something to teach me.

Sit down with me and take our ease
Join me in a cup of tea
You’ve got something to teach me.

Tell me about your place of birth
As we sit in old Tamworth
As we sit in old Tamworth
And what it was that made you leave
Come and sit a while with me.

Sit down with me and take our ease
Join me in a cup of tea
You’ve got something to teach me.

Someone told me about my race
Said I belonged in another place
But every place then said the same
Put me on an aeroplane.
You’ve got something to teach me.

Sit down with me and take our ease
Join me in a cup of tea
You’ve got something to teach me.

I sat down and took my ease
With some lovely Sudanese
Who could not live in old Darfor.
That’s how it is with War you see
You’ve got something to teach me.

Sit down with me and take our ease
Join me in a cup of tea
You’ve got something to teach me.
