(() Sittin' (by) di ocean, ╚═══════════ [Verse]

     (the wave), she feel so sad - … x2)

() You ain't got (di) money

    to take she back to Trinidad - …

(Fine calypso woman, she cook him       [Intro]

     shrimp and rice - … x2)               (x4)

Those yankee hot dogs                     D#m D#m

    don't treat the stomach very nice

                                         [Riff]

In Trinidad, a dollar buy                  (x2)

Papaya juice, banana pie            D#m D#m B B

Six coconut, a female goat

And plenty fish to full di boat

A bushel bread, a bottle of wine

And all di town, she came to dine        [Riff]

But there is bad, a dollar buy           [Link]

A cup of coffee, ham on rye            Wooh - …


Me throat, she sick from necktie [Verse

Me feet, she hurt from shoes      Part #1] (x2)

His pocket full of empty          (So/…) (at/…)

He's got the Calypso blues            (your

These yankee girls give him a scare      heart)

Is black di roots and blonde di hair       (x1)

Her eyelash false, her face is paint  (…/

And perhaps not di girl she ain't      Because)

She jitterbug when she should waltz      (…/no)

I even think her name was false     [Hook] (x3)

Calypso girl is good a lot          [Link]

Is what you (see/got) (x2)   [Hook] [Riff] (x2)
