UWI Singers 'Nine Night' (Part 2)

Jamaican Nine Night Part 2

[@Cellofski]

This medley was stuck in my head for two weeks so I decided to transcribe the lyrics in an attempt to rid myself of the mellifluous earworm:
1: A woo mama woo mama (X7)
Lawd a seh a come wi dis a come, a come wi dis a come an wi nuh waan nuh baddaration OOOOO.
A woo mama woo mama (X7)
(Lawd a seh a) Come wi dis a come, (A come-a) a come wi dis a come an wi nuh waan nuh baddaration OOOOO
A woo mama woo mama (X7)
(Lawd a seh a) Come wi dis a come, a come wi dis a come an wi nuh waan nuh baddaration OOOOO
(Lawd a seh a) Come wi dis a come, (A come-a) a come wi dis a come an wi nuh waan nuh baddaration OOOOO
A woo mama woo mama (X7)

I'm totally hooked - can't stop watching this. Absolutely brilliant. I would fly to Jam Down to watch them if I knew they were performing. Love it and my Jamaican culture.

Thanks for this because I was wondering what he said at 3:36 that caused the laughter. But you shared this. Thanks.

I've watched this so many times and absolutely love it. Oh, the good old days in Jamaica as a child. It is such a refreshing and authentic display of our culture! Thanks for posting. God bless!
