Roosevelt In Trinidad (Fitz McLean) Recorded 2/16/37 by Atilla (Raymond Quevado) [from booklet in Rounder CD 1142, Roosevelt in Trinidad, released 1999]

When Roosevelt came to the land of the Hummingbird,
Shouts of welcome were heard,
When Roosevelt came to the Land of the Hummingbird,
Shouts of welcome were heard,
His visit is to the island is bound to be,
An epoch in local history,
Definately marking a new era,
Between Trinidad and America.

There are three additional verses. The CD should be readily available at your nearest independent record (er, I mean music/CD) store, or even thru the internet. There are 25 cuts of "events, places, and personalities 1933-39". For those of us who remember them, paeans to the Four Mills Bros. and to Bing Crosby are also interesting.

Have fun with this, CarlZen.---John

PS: Somewhere I do have the Ry Cooder version; trust me, this is better.
