Angelina and the Yankee

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A fat Yankee sailor just come off a boat Walk in a night club, expose a few Yankee dollar notes Angelina pick him up, carry him by she The next thing I see Angie making baby [Chorus] But the Yankee gone He leave Port of Spain She waiting in vain I'm sorry for she And she big belly He ain't coming back again [Verse 2] When she tell the sailor what happen to she All he said was "Honey, we'll join in matrimony" Oh Lord Angie was happy, she jumping with joy Making preparation for a baby boy [Chorus] But the Yankee gone He leave Port of Spain She waiting in vain I'm sorry for she And she big big belly He ain't coming back again [Verse 3] Wеdding preparation, people shе invite For the celebration but the sailor ain't even write But still Angie was ready, the priest done get pay The house put away for the wedding day [Chorus] And the Yankee gone He leave Port of Spain She waiting in vain I'm sorry for she And she big belly He ain't coming back again [Verse 4] Well she can't find the sailor She try all kind of Obeah She had a red candle paint up with mustard In every crossroad in Trinidad When that wouldn't work at all She say Peter got to pay for Paul Pick up a Grenadian And married the day as planned [Chorus] Though the Yankee gone He leave Port of Spain She ain't waiting in vain Man she set a trap And when it snapped Is a Grenadian take the rap
