Spotify has a couple of recordings of this song. One titled "Melda," is by Ivan S. Chin, Chin's Calypso Sextet, Kingston, Jamaica. From the record label, it appears E.F. Williams wrote the lyrics, and Alert Bedasse composed the melody.

This is what I hear:

MELDA

Well I cry all night, and not a policeman was in sight.
Well I cry all night, and not a policeman was in sight.
I said, Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.
Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.

Yeah, the more I cry out and ....., the more Melda take it along
I was crying in a ...., Melda was biting me down to the bone.
I said, Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.
Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.

I start to ...on the bed, Imelda bite me I nearly dead
I want to lean on the window pane, Melda was biting my jugular vein
I said, Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.
Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.

A porter came to the door, but I find myself on the floor;
I want to look outside, Melda was taking me for a ride.
I said, Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.
Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.

I had her right in the cling, Melda she give me a laughing pinch;
I hear a knock on the gate, police arrive but they were too late.
Hear me bawlin', Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.
Lemme go, Melda I ticklish, you're biting my finger.
