Key: Ab major•
Verse 1
Ab
In May of 1956,
on the eve of the Gold Coast Independence,
Louis Armstrong,
who is convinced that his great
-grandparents
came from here,
went back,
at the invitation of the Prime Minister
and as the representative of
that great free nation
across the seas,
where both the blues
and the colored people
had their first awakening.

and the bands, seven of them,
played an old Gold Coast favorite,

to have allowed them to come

they must realise that they came from
this part of the world.

what we propose to do.
an invitation to us.
Louis is going to play,
who feels that he can dance
to that kind of music
to come forward and dance.
At an evening concert,
Louis played an old favourite
for Prime Minister
and Coma. himself an old jazz fan
from his university days in Philadelphia.
