In Trinidad, one dollar buy

Papaya juice, banana pie,

             DmDm
Six coconut, one female goat,

              Bb majorBb
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.

               DmDm
One bushel bread, one barrel wine,

               Bb majorBb
An' all de town, she come to dine.

              DmDm
But here is bad, one dollar buy

            Bb majorBb
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.

             DmDm
Me throat she sick from necktie,

         Bb majorBb
Me feet hurt from shoes.

         DmDm
Me pocket full of empty,

       Bb majorBb
I got Calypso blues.

               DmDm
Dese yankee girl give me big scare,

                Bb majorBb
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.

               DmDm
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,

                Bb majorBb
And pads are where de girl she ain't

               DmDm
She jitterbug when she should waltz,

             Bb majorBb
I even think her name is false.

              DmDm
But calypso girl is good a lot,

               Bb majorBb
Is what you see, is what she got.

        DmDm
Sittin' by de ocean

           Bb majorBb
Me heart, she feel so sad,

       DmDm
Sittin' by de ocean,

            Bb majorBb
Me heart, she feel so sad

       DmDm
Don't got de money

          Bb majorBb
To take me back to Trinidad.
