|
Ev'rything to keep me from sleepin' |
|
A lot of sailor boys they were leavin' |
|
And everybody there were jumpin' |
|
To hear the sailor boys in our chorus singin' |
|
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby |
|
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby |
|
I'm goin away, in a sailing boat |
|
And if I don't come back |
|
Stay home and mind baby Now de Americans made an invasion |
|
We thought it was a help to the island |
|
Until they left from here on vacation |
|
They left de native boy home to mind their children |
|
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby |
|
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby |
|
I'm goin away, in a sailing boat |
|
And if I don't come back |
|
Stay home and mind baby |
|
Now I tell you de story 'bout Millie |
|
Well she made a nice blue-eyed baby |
|
And dey say she fancy the mother |
|
But the blue-eyed baby ain't know she father |
|
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby |
|
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby |
|
I'm goin away, in a sailing boat |
|
And if I don't come back |
|
Stay home and mind baby |
|
Now de Americans all have their pleasure |
|
While the music played to their leisure |
|
Everybody there they were jumpin' |
|
To hear the sailor boys in our chorus singin' |
|
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby |
|
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby |
|
I'm goin' away, in a sailing boat |
|
And if I don't come back |
|
Stay home and mind baby |
