CORDELIA BROWN
Folksong from Antigua

Oh, Cordelia Brown, what makes your head so red?
Oh, Cordelia Brown, what makes your head so red?
You're sitting in the sunshine with nothing on your head.
Oh, Cordelia Brown, that's why your head's so red!

On a moonshine night, on a moonshine night,
I met Mister Ivan, and mister Ivan told me.
He said that Nita had an encounter
After sunset and there was no moon.
Ee hee ha ha, ee hee hee hee ha ha, Cordelia Brown!
