Verse 1:
A                D                  A
   A neighboring clan went on the attack
                        D                           A
And stole all the giant coco-yams from the barn out back
                 E       A              D           D
I will make them pay for taking my yams away

Verse 2:
A                      D
   I carved out little figurines of thieves
                                A
Burned a palmful of red dust from the medicine bag
                       D
Broke a kola nut in half, I ate half of it myself
                         A
Sat back and watched the evening drag
A                   E                A                            D
   I will make them regret that they haven't brought my yams back yet
