The Mango Song

(专辑： Island Woman - 1964)

Mango

Pick the mango from the tree
Hand the mango down to me
Put the mango in a sack
Put the sack upon my back
Everybody, now come along
Help me sing my mango song
Mango

Take the mango to the square
Try to sell the mango there
If I do not sell it, then
Take it back and try again
Everybody, now come along
Help me sing my mango song
Mango

Picking mango is mighty hard
Children play in Daddy's yard
Woman work in the kitchen
Cooking meals and patching britches
Everybody, now come along
Help me sing my mango song
Mango

See the woman walking by
See her basket sitting high
Basket high on woman head
Did you hear what the woman said
Everybody, now come along
Help me sing my mango song
Mango
