Lyr. Add: FISHERMAN'S SONG
Calypso- but moderately.

1
Fishermen sleep when the fish don't bite,
Weigh- up, Susianna,
Salt fish in the hold and we two ton light,
'Round the Bay of Montserray.

Chorus:-
Weigh- up, Susianna
'Round the Bay of Montserray
Fish all night and we sleep all day
'Round the Bay of Montserray.

2
Fishermen's lady don't use no comb,
Weigh- up, Susianna
She comb her hair with codfish bone,
'Round the Bay of Montserray.
3
Fisherman's lady got a dimpled knee
Weigh- up, Susianna
She boil her porgy with rice and peas,
'Round the Bay of Montserray.
