The oldest published version of the lyrics was printed by Robert Winslow Gordon in 1925, in a column "Old Songs That Men Have Sung" in Adventure Magazine. The oldest known recording of the song, under the title "Rising Sun Blues", is by Appalachian artists Clarence "Tom" Ashley and Gwen Foster - 1933.

Africa is the birthplace of homo sapiens sapiens. In South Africa there is abundant evidence for this. At the Blombos Cave near Jongensfontein in the western Cape some evidence is dated to between 70'000 and 100'000 years ago. Our distant ancestors who lived there were cognitively well developed. There are abstract geometric patterns on a piece of ochre - something animals such as our distant cousins, the primates, do not do.

Africa is our mother. But generally speaking things are desperate on our birth continent.
