Calypso Blues |
| Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo, |
| Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay |
| Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo, |
| Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay |
| 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 |
| Dese yankee hot dogs |
| Don’t treat me stomach very nice. |
| In Trinidad, one dollar buy |
| Papaya juice, banana pie, |
| Six coconut, one female goat, |
| An' plenty fish to fill de boat. |
| One bushel bread, one barrel wine, |
| An' all de town, she come to dine. |
| But here is bad, one dollar buy |
| Cup of coffee, ham on rye. |
| Me throat she sick from necktie, |
| Me feet hurt from shoes. |
| Me pocket full of empty, |
| I got Calypso blues. |
| Dese yankee girl 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 jitterbug 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 |
| Don’t got de money |
| To take me back to Trinidad. |
| Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo, |
| Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay |
| Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo, |
| Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay |
