Memories |
| Every year somebody dear |
| Give us cause to shed a tear |
| And mourn for they are gone |
| Now all that’s left is a faint memory |
| Based on the theme of a strange melody |
| Still we must think of them |
| And recall their image with pride |
| Telling people from deep inside |
| This is dedicated to those who died |
| Bert Inniss I’ll always remember |
| Jumping when a steel band pass, playing mas |
| Sugary, peppery Bert, was never ever one for class |
| Bertram Inniss, wherever you are, compère |
| Just for you I came out with real fire this year |
| Each and everyone I know |
| Some good day will have to go |
| Right back from where they came |
| Now good or bad we must try all the same |
| Not to be sad or heap scorn on their name |
| And every girl and boy |
| Who are sharing my sympathies |
| I must tell you this song is just |
| Dedicated to memories |
| George Bailey I’ll always remember |
| Jumping when them big band pass, playing mas |
| Sugary, peppery George was never ever one for class |
| George Bailey, wherever you are compère |
| Just for you I came out with real fire this year |
| How many have known a friend |
| Playing mas down to the end |
| Who will never again |
| And though we play |
| Now and then thoughts will stray |
| To that dear one who has long passed away |
| So for this Carnival when you’re jumping up, take a break |
| Try and take in this song I make |
| To remember for old times sake |
| Jack Brathwaithe I’ll always remember |
| Jumping when them big band pass, playing mas |
| Sugary, peppery Jack was never ever one for class |
| Jack Brathwaithe, where ever you are compère |
| Just for you I came out with real fire this year |
| Simple words cannot define |
| The memories that fills the mind |
| Of those who are left behind |
| To some of us it’s a kin or a friend |
| Or a great love that was shared to the end |
| So it is our duty, I mean each and every one |
| See that their memories live on |
| Even though they are dead and gone |
| Albert Moore I’ll always remember |
| Jumping when a steel band pass, playing big mas |
| Sugary, peppery Al was never ever one for class |
| Dear Albert, where ever you are compère |
| Just for you I came out with real fire this year |
