Lyrics
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 dog Don't treat me stomach very nice In Trinidad, one dollar buy Papaya juice, banana pie Six coconuts, 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 Dese Yankee girl give me big scare Is black de root, is blond 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 Don't got de money To take me back to Trinidad
