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.
