Brown Girl In The Ring

(album: Shake Sugaree: Taj Mahal Sings And Plays For Children - 1988)

There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
And she looks like a sugar in a plum plum plum

All had water run dry
I got nowhere to wash my clothes
All had water run dry
I got nowhere to wash my clothes

Deng-a-deng o suki
Deng-a-deng

I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cake
I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cake

Deng-a-deng o suki
Deng-a-deng

There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
And she looks like a sugar in a plum plum plum

There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
And she looks like a sugar in a plum plum plum

All had water run dry
I got nowhere to wash my clothes
All had water run dry
I got nowhere to wash my clothes

Deng-a-deng o suki
Deng-a-deng

I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cake
I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cake

Deng-a-deng o suki
Deng-a-deng

There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
And she looks like a sugar in a plum plum plum
