The Swan is Singing His Song (with apologies to Gene Autry and Frank Sinatra)

I realize that most of you who have been reading my comments have no idea who Gene Autry was nor have you heard him sing.  Probably more of you at least know of Frank Sinatra but  are also unfamiliar with his music. So-o-o, here are links to both these "ancient" artists:

ENJOY!

I'm back in the Airport again, 
Kotoka is now an old friend,
Where everybody waits
So they will not miss their gates
I'm back in the Airport again.



Out of Cape Coast once more
Filled with more fine Fante lore
Where the people treat you right
And the Red Red's out of sight
I'm back in the Airport again.


Tomorrow night  I will be home
No more to Ghana to roam
But before this trip can wane
There's ten hours in a plane
I'm back in the airport again. 


*****************************************

It's quarter to eight
They told me, "Take a seat. You'll just have to wait."
So, set 'em up, Yaw
I've got a little story to tell you just now.

We're toasting, my friend,

To the end of a fifteen-year episode.
So, make it one for my Ghana
And one more for the road.

You're working, I know
So here's some Cedis for a Pear Alvaro
I'm kinda depressed
But at the same time I'm happy and blessed.

The years have been gold
The changes in lives a joy to behold
So make it one for my Ghana
And one more for the road.

They're calling my plane
I guess it's time for me to leave once again
Be well, my dear friends
I've gotten more than I could ever have giv'n.

 My life's been enriched
And being with you has lightened my load
So make it one for my Ghana
And one more for the road.

Medase!

 

Medase!
