Heritage Rhythms

Intro

Oh-oh

Yeah

Bring it back to the Casablanca harbor

One time for the family

Ra!

Chorus

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Hear the rhythm let the story unfold

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Sweet as honey more precious than gold

From the coast to the mountain top

Where the red flags wave and the drums never stop

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Welcome home to the warm glow

Verse 1

Passport stamped and my heritage is showing

Ancient spirits and the way the wind is blowing

Saturday night lights flickering in the yard

Living simple even when the times get hard

Tall palm trees reaching for the midday heat

Feel the wooden shoes tapping out a rhythmic beat

Pre-Chorus

Grandma stirs the pot in the early afternoon

We'll be gather round the table very soon

Brother has the guitar and he knows the song

Everybody come and join the whole night long

Chorus

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Hear the rhythm let the story unfold

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Sweet as honey more precious than gold

From the coast to the mountain top

Where the red flags wave and the drums never stop

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Welcome home to the warm glow

Verse 2

Dusty slippers sitting right beside the front door

Rich traditions flowing out from every floor

Silver trays serving up the mint tea style

Making every cousin crack a heavy smile

From Agadir all the way back to Fes

Got the Mediterranean breeze I must confess

Pre-Chorus

Uncles arguing about the good old days

In a dozen different beautifully hectic ways

Light the candles see the copper starts to glow

Feeling every bit of roots we ever know

Chorus

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Hear the rhythm let the story unfold

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Sweet as honey more precious than gold

From the coast to the mountain top

Where the red flags wave and the drums never stop

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Welcome home to the warm glow

Drop

Ma-ma-ma-Maroko

Ma-ma-ma-Maroko ko ko ko ko

Chorus

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Hear the rhythm let the story unfold

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Sweet as honey more precious than gold

From the coast to the mountain top

Where the red flags wave and the drums never stop

Maroko ko ko ko ko ko ko

Welcome home to the warm glow
