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 she hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.
She need to bubble like perculatah
She come from Trinidad so irie in her nature
Never can't I assess a reps until failure
Tell her if she stop she need fe fly air Jamaica
Anytime she l land she nah go feel like no stranger
Carry on along we similar in Behavior
Them no understand we customs and we flavour
Need the natty Dred to be the new care taker
Lard
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,
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...
She need to, she need to, she need to, she need to bubble like perculatah
She come from Trinidad so irie in her nature
Never can't I assess a reps until failure
Tell her if she stop she need fe fly air Jamaica
Anytime she l land she nah go feel like no stranger
Carry on along we similar in Behavior
Them no understand we customs and we flavour

Sitting by the ocean
My heart, she feels so sad,
Sitting by the ocean,
My heart, she feels so sad...
Don't have the money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Fine calypso woman,
She cooks me shrimp and rice,

And all the town, she comes to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buys
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.
My throat is sore from necktie,
My feet they hurt from shoes.
My pocket is full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.
She needs to bubble like a percolator
She comes from Trinidad so irie in her nature
Never can I assess a representative until a failure
Tell her if she stops she needs to fly Air Jamaica
Anytime she lands she won't feel like a stranger
Carry on along we are similar in Behavior
They don't understand our customs and our flavor
Need the natty Dread to be the new caretaker
Lord
