Lived in Agona Swedru in the 60's. As a kid I regularly sneaked to a nearby beer bar to listen to this song played on an Akasanoma record player. I think 33-1/3. Truly nostalgic

For those who will wonder for years to come what the real meaning of this song is... Here goes. A comment for the children of the future. Serwa Akoto was a pretty, calm and well cultured girl who lived in Kumasi. She was a childhood friend of the singer as they grew up in the Ashanti capital. The general thought is that, Yamoah was to marry Serwa as they had been seeing each other for a long time. However, Yamoah rose to stardom with his music. And along came the fair Lizzy. She charmed Yamoah effortlessly and through a freak of decisions, Yamoah was soon to find himself married to Lizzy, leaving the dark beautiful Serwa Akoto for light skinned Lizzy. Soon thereafter, he came to understand that he had been deceived. It seemed Lizzy's beauty was only on the surface. She was trouble for Yamoah. She didn't love him and wouldn't do her duties as were required. She was rumored to chase other men. He knew what he had done. Serwa had loved him to the moon and back. Serwa was very devoted. But Serwa had now been taken. His sadness knew no consolation. He compares Serwa in the song to cool waters and comfortable bed wrappers in the cold night; about Lizzy, he says that if it were for her alone, the hunter can never come home with game. The home problems will apparently weigh so much on him, he wouldn't be able to concentrate to kill a single game. It was with this sadness that he sang this song. Without a doubt, he came to realize only too late that, not all women were like our well cultured Serwa. Our women must aim to be like Serwa and our young men should be vigilant lest they end with a Lizzy.

Kudos for putting these songs for us to relish and reminisce on the past.
