Ride to Agadir lyrics

We rode in the morning

Casablanca to the west

On the Atlas mountain foothills

Leading down to Marrakesh

For Mohamed and Morocco

We had taken up our guns

For the ashes of our fathers

And the children of our sons

For the ashes of our fathers

And the children of our sons

In the dry winds of summer

We were sharpening the blades

We were riding to act upon

The promise we had made

With the fist and the dagger

With the rifle and and the lance

We will suffer no intrusion

From the infidels of France

We will suffer no intrusion

From the infidels of France

We could wait no more

In the burning sands

On the ride to Agadir

Like the dogs of war

For the future of this land

On the ride to Agadir

Though they were waiting

And they were fifty to our ten

They were easily outnumbered

By a smaller force of men

As the darkness was falling

They were soon to realize

We were going to relieve them

Of their godforsaken lives

We were going to relieve them

Of their godforsaken lives

We could wait no more

In the burning sands

On the ride to Agadir

Like the dogs of war

For the future of this land

On the ride to Agadir

We rode in the morning

Casablanca to the west

On the Atlas mountain foothills

Leading down to Marrakesh

For Mohamed and Morocco

We had taken up our guns

For the ashes of our fathers

And the children of our sons

For the ashes of our fathers

And the children of our sons
