I learnt this song in Barbados when I was there a couple of years ago as a visiting artist - looking at how they teach their traditions in school. The words they use are Three white horses, in a stable hey hey we go up tomorrow Up tomorrow at the break of day Come along with your shallow plate Shallow plate is a white mulatto hey hey we go - up tomorrow Up tommorrow at the break of day Come along with your shallow plate Tendency noew to sing green banana in place of white mulsatto - in fact they have fun changing the coloutr of the banana - blue, gold, red, whatever one child shouts out.
