Calypso Sweetheard - Hank Snow

It’s been many, many day

Me sail away from de isle of Trinidad

Me leave brown skin blue eyed C’lypso sweetheart

Most love, best love me ever had

In de market place me see her face for very first time

She sell fruit from de top of her head

Me buy fruit with Yankee dime

She love me well, how me know

She love me, she tell me so

I love her, I don' mean maybe

My brown skin, blue eyed C’lypso baby

When I hear her sing, buy my rum and rice

It’s good for you, it’s very nice

Me look around, get big surprise

See brown skin girl with light brown skin

She almost out of the dress she in

Next time she sing me take guitar

Play so hot it catch a fire

It’s been many many day

Me sail away from de isle of Trinidad

Me leave brown skin, blue eyed C’lypso sweetheart

Me heart is heavy, me heart is sad

Now I’m on my way back to Trinidad isle

To my brown skin love with pretty smile

There I spend all my life

With brown skin, blue eyed C’lypso wife…
