Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Big Big Sambo Gyal (jamaica)
Talking of "Jamaican Song and Story", I found the Porject Gutenberg ebook, and found another song which is related/could be a variant of "Big Big Sambo Gyal". It is called "Bungo Moolatta" and has the "han' full a ring" line: CXXVII.
Schottische.
Bungo Moolatta, Bungo Moolatta, Who dé go married you? You hand full a ring an' you can't do a t'ing, Who dé go married you? Me give you me shirt fe wash, You burn up me shirt with iron, You hand full a ring an' you can't do a t'ing, Who dé go married you? -Walter Jekyll, Jamaican Song and Story
