[Intro]
My own home
My own home
My own home

[Verse]
Father's hunting in the forest
Mother's cooking in the home
I must go and fetch the water
'Til the day that I am grown
'Til I'm grown, 'til I'm grown
I must go and fetch the water
(I must go and fetch the water)
('Til the day that I'm grown)
'Til the day that I'm grown

[Outro]
Then I will have a handsome husband
And a daughter of my own
And I'll send her to fetch the water
I'll be cooking in the home
Then I'll send her to fetch the water
I'll be cooking in the home
