Benwood Dick

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Aye, little boy, let me tell you this Don't be afraid, I ain't the police You wouldn't know me, but I want you to show me A girl around here they call Mildred When I tell you mister, Mildred is meh sister He jump up and then he said [Chorus] Tell your sister to come down quick I have something for here for she Tell she it's Mr. Benwood Dick The man from Sangre Grande She know me well, hmm.. I gih she already hmm.. She must remember me Go on, go on, tell she Mr. Benwood come [Verse 2] Sorry old man, that won't do for me I don't carry message for anybody If you want to see she, don't worry to send me Climb up the step, you won't fall It have a bell on the gate, ring it and wait She must come after you call [Chorus] Tell your sister to come down quick I have something for here for she Tell she it's Mr. Benwood Dick The man from Sangre Grande She know me well, hmm.. I gih she already hmm.. She must remember me Go on, go on, tell she Mr. Benwood come [Verse 3] If you see the man, you might dead with fright Especially if it's in the night Wearing a big old straw hat A dirty, dirty alpagat All he shirt colored black and greasy I don't see what kind of business a man like this Could have with my sister Milly He bawling: [Chorus] Tell your sister to come down quick I have something for here for she Tell she it's Mr. Benwood Dick The man from Sangre Grande She know me well, hmm.. I gih she already hmm.. She must remember me Go on, go on, tell she Mr. Benwood come [Verse 4] Curiosity had meh head confused I wonder what Mildred doing with a man who can't buy shoes They start to talk and talk, then they went for a walk If you see them hand in hand When he gone and ask she, who is he? She tell me, is she compere, but was she man He bawling: [Chorus] Tell your sister to come down quick I have something for here for she Tell she it's Mr. Benwood Dick The man from Sangre Grande She know me well, hmm.. I gih she already hmm.. She must remember me Go on, go on, tell she Mr. Benwood come
