Angelina and the Yankee - Mighty Sparrow

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

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

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

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

Wdding preparation, people sh 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

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

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

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
