Bahama Mama
(专辑: Island Woman - 1964)
Once when I
was on shore liberty On the
tropic little island of Bimini I
go to bar where lights are bright; Calypso music everything all right Beautiful woman do a
dance Do the
Limbo, put me in a
trance I
say, "Man, what her name be?" He say, "Bahama mama, and she wild and free." Lonely was I
from many days at sea; I
wanted this woman who was wild and free Say, Bahama mama, Limbo with me? She work me over like Hurricane Shirley Drink much rum, get me in a
fight Sailor hit me on head, out go lights When I
came to, guess what I
see? Bahama mama, and she kissing me Bahama mama now tell me she love me; Her beauty and the
rum make me feel dizzy From look on her face, I
can see Bahama Mama not belong to me Bahama mama do a
dance when She do the
Limbo, put me in a
trance I
lucky man, everyone would say; Bahama mama claim lover today Never ever more will I
go to sea; Bahama mama and me will soon marry We gonna do everything up right; Bahama mama gonna love me day and night Pretty soon, then, there'll be three: Bahama mama, little baby and me; I
so happy, hard to b'lieve Bahama mama now belong to me Bahama mama do a
dance when She do the
Limbo, put me in a
trance I
lucky man, everyone would say; Bahama mama claim lover today
