ONE BAHAMAS
Words and Music by - Mr. Eric B. Cash
Though you be born in the North West,
Maybe it was in the South East,
Bimini or in Inagua,
Your country's still The Bahamas.
Chorus:
One God, one people, one Bahamas, One Bahamas
One God, one people, one Bahamas, One Bahamas,
If you live in Bahamaland,
Whether Sans Souci or Bain Town,
In Spanish Wells or in Lowe Sound
Brothers and Sisters, let's hold hands.
Chorus: One God, one people, etc.
Are your ancestors from Asia,
Europe or down from Africa,
Though Black or White, Yellow or Brown,
We are one people in this land.
Chorus: One God, one people, etc.
Whether you worship on Sunday,
Saturday, Tuesday or Thursday,
Whatever denomination,
We serve one God in this nation
Chorus: One God, one people, etc.
Despite ethnic differences,
Political preferences,
Join hearts in love and unity
In this our great, little country.
Chorus: One God, one people, etc.
NASSAU NASSAU
By Eric B. Cash (1964)
I'll take Nassau, I'll make Nassau my home,
I want to be there morning, night and noon,
There how peaceful I will see,
This good old earth was meant to be,
The only place in this wide world For me.
Chorus
Nassau, Nassau, that is the place for me,
Nassau, Nassau, that's where I want to be.
Within Nassau there's beauty in the skies,
Betwixt the trees there's nature's big surprise,
Tropic birds are singing,
and trade-wind breezes blowing
all this to me such gaiety would bring.
You'll want Nassau when life is dark and blue,
the fireflies will bring light back to you,
When the day is fading,
Then you too will be saying,
"I'll take Nassau and make Nassau my home."
Chorus
