- Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice,
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice...
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice.
In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.
One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.
Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.
Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't!
She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
(Repeat chant to fade)
"Calypso Blues" was written by Nat "King" Cole and Don George in 1949.
Calypso Rose got me here 💃💃💃
I am a Trinidadian and this is the first time I have heard it. I love it.
Visit my channel I’ve uploaded a different version. Bless
There are lots of cover versions, including one by Marvin gaye
LOVE THIS!! Since I heard it at 12 years old at my aunts house....which was the house of ALL music.
This is a later recording he did of it, with a slightly more updated sound, a little more uptempo, and in stereo. I think this must have been the version Marvin Gaye heard, as this was the version he virtually copied for his mid sixties album for Motown, Tribute To The Great Nat King Cole.
This is definitely a great song. So rich in sound with almost no accompaniment.
This is my favorite Cole song BECAUSE of the lack of accompaniment. I never much cared for the violins and backup singers they put with him.
Im moving to Trinidad and Tobago!
why do i want to go back to trinidad ? even tho i never been there before
My father would play this on his reel to reel....I'll never forget it.
Beautiful voice
mantap lah lagunya... im come from INDONESIA i love This song
Chuck Berry's "Havana Moon" is very similar
My god that voice
Love this. Thanks for uploading.
Lovely memories about this song
STFU , I love this song
Great!!!
B side to when I fall in love
Soundsbetterwhenwatchingtheliveperformancewithdudeondrums.
cuz its honest "real " punk of the 80s not greenday was very honest so honest it would never get major label attention,
punk as fuck mean its good , i like the song too
I guess Chuck Berry heard it. Have you heard Havana Moon?
Don't get me wrong, I think this is amazing, but I can't help but laugh listening to it, because I can't help but think of David Brent/Ricky Gervais in the 'Learn Guitar with David Brent' series.
fan-fucking-tastic
What does he say after cup of coffee
Ham on rye
Let me get this straight. Most of it is he misses the food?
He misses everything Trini....
It's everything -- homesickness, isolation, loneliness (being among people but still feeling by yourself).
how is this punk?
Nice profile picture, dumbass.
This is definitely not punk.
It is.
it is calypso
right bro??? lyrics are punk as fuck
