Calypso Blues |
Wa-o wa-o |
Wa-o wa-o wa-o wa-e |
Wa-o wa-o |
Wa-o wa-o wa-o wa-e |
Sittin' by de ocean |
Me heart, she feel so sad |
Sittin' by de ocean |
Me heart, she feel so sad |
Don’t got de money |
To take me back to Trinidad |
Fine calypso woman |
She cook me shrimp and rice |
Fine calypso woman |
She cook me shrimp and rice |
Dis yankee hot dog |
Don’t treat me stomach very nice |
Ah |
In Trinidad, one dollar buy |
Papaya juice, banana pie |
Six coconuts, one female goat |
And plenty fish to fill de boat |
One bushel bread, one barrel wine |
And all de town, she come to dine |
But here is bad, one dollar buy |
Cup of coffee, ham on rye |
Ah |
Me throat she sick from necktie |
Me feet she hurt from shoes |
Me pocket full of empty |
I got Calypso blues |
Dese yankee girls give me big scare |
Is black de root, is blonde de hair? |
Her eyelash false, her face is paint |
And pads are where de girl she ain’t |
She jitterbugs when she should waltz |
I even think her name is false |
But calypso girl is good a lot |
Is what you see, is what she got |
Sittin' by de ocean |
Me heart, she feel so sad |
Sittin' by de ocean |
Me heart, she feel so sad… |
I don’t got de money |
To take me back to Trinidad |
I don’t got de money |
To take me back to Trinidad |
Wa-o wa-o |
Wa-o wa-o wa-o wa-e |
Wa-o wa-o |
Wa-o wa-o wa-o wa-e |
Wa-o wa-o |
Wa-o wa-o wa-o wa-e |
Ah |
