The 1979 La Soufrière Eruption

"1979 the eruption of La Soufrière, I remember the morning, just like yesterday
I was deep in a dream, on somebody mango tree
When the hysterical voice of my granny reach me.
She say boy get up, wake up, look the Soufrière erupt
Me haffu just jump out ah me bed, cause my sleep interrupt."
