NOTES: This is listed as having "new lyrics" by Paul Campbell (the Weavers, collectively), and "music adaption" by Tom Geraci. I have seen relatively little of the material elsewhere; this looks more like a new song from traditional materials than a touched-up traditional song. - RBW
Nope -- the song as touched up by the Weavers and friends is still quite close to the field recording from the Bahamas in 1935. - PJS

And the Digital Tradition lyrics:

ROUND THE BAY OF MEXICO (from Digital Tradition)

It's 'round the Bay of Mexico
Way, Oh, Susianna,
Mexico is the place that I belong in,
Round the Bay of Mexico.

Those Nassau girls they love me so,
'Cause I don't tell everything I know.

When I was a young man, in my prime,
Take those pretty gals two at a time.

Nassau girls ain't got no comb,
Comb their hair with a whipper backbone.

Pretty gals in Mexico
Wriggle their arse with a roll and go.

Goodbye gals of Nassau town,
I'm bound away for the fishing ground.

Recorded by Killen- Fifty South, L of C Henry Lundy and Pappie

The DT lyrics are almost the same as what I found in the Folksinger's Wordbook: snw words by Paul Campbell (the Weavers) TRO © 1953 Folkways Music Publishers. Are there any sources earlier than the 1935 Lomax "Southern Journey" recording from the Georgia Sea Islands?
