Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cudelia Brown / Cordelia Brown
Just to note something implausible (reading Azizi's comments, and sharing her opinion that the song is a social commentary). That second verse can't be entirely a first-person account from the perspective of Neita/Nita. It changes to third person in the second line. "Sey that 'im gi Neita de drop, Jamaica flop, and de moonshine drop." So an unknown third party was told by Mr Ivan that he (Mr. Ivan) had a sexual relationship with Neita.
