Lyr. Add: Rookoombine
Jamaican folk song

Train top a bridge jus-a run like a breeze
An' a gal underneat' it a wash her chemise
Oh *Rookoombine eena *Santa Fe,
Rookoombine eena Santa Fe,
Oh, rookoombine.

Went Kingston town
Just to have me look around'
But instead look aroun'
Oh, me spent every poun'.

Went yesterday
Just to buy conga drum
But instead of de drum,
Look, me drink up de rum.

*Rookoombine, rookumbine- recombine, join together, sex.
*Santa Fe- a town in Jamaica.
