I say oh, misery
|
Shame and scandal in the family
|
Oh, misery
|
Shame and scandal in the family
|
|
Down in Trinidad there was a family
|
With much confusion as you will see
|
A mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
|
He wanted to marry and have a wife of his own
|
He found a girl she suited him nice
|
He went to his father to ask his advice
|
His father said: "Son, I have to say no,
|
The girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
|
|
Oh, misery
|
Shame and scandal in the family
|
I say oh, misery
|
Shame and scandal in the family
|
|
Then a week went by and the summer came down
|
Soon the best girl on the island he found
|
He went to his papa to make it a date
|
His papa shook his head and to this he did say
|
"You Can't marry that girl I have to say no
|
Cause the girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
|
|
Oh, misery
|
Shame and scandal in the family
|
I say oh, misery
|
It's shame and scandal in the family
|
|
He went to his mama, he covered his head
|
He told his mum what his father had said
|
His mother she laughed,
|
she said: "Go man, go
|
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know"
|
|
Oh, misery
|
It's shame and scandal in the family
|
Oh, misery
|
Shame and scandal in the family
|
I say oh, misery
|
Shame and scandal in the family
|
I say oh, misery
