DULCIE
Folk, Trinidad
Dulcie in de moonlight, Dulcie in the dew,
Dulcie never came home until the clock struck two.
Walk in, Dulcie, walk in,-
Walk in here, I say,
Walk into my parlour to hear de banjo play.
Refrain-
Oh, Dulcie, oh Dulcie, oh Dulcie
Oh Dulcie, oh Dulcie, oh Dulcie,
Where have you bin so long?
oh Dulcie,
Where have you bin so long?
Good mornin', sister Katie,
Good mornin', sister Packofrat,-
Dulcie came home two o'clock
Tell me what do you think of dat?
So walk in Dulcie, walk in,-
Walk in here I say,--
Walk into my parlour to hear de banjo play.
Oh Dulcie, oh Dulcie, oh Dulcie,
Oh Dulcie, oh Dulcie, oh Dulcie
Where you been so long?--
oh, Dulcie
Where have you bin so long?
