Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cudelia Brown / Cordelia Brown
*Note: I think my transcription of "Cudelia Brown" as sung by Louise Bennett is slightly inaccurate. "Ee-he-ha-ha, ee-he-ha-ha, ee-he-ah-ha, ee-he-ah-ha" appears after "Jamaica flop an' de moonshine drop" as in the other traditional versions, then the first verse is repeated with "And the reason, why, because her head so red" tacked on at the end.
