EDIT: Just noticed.'z' should be ''s''. In the last verse of "Fan Mi Solja Man" , the word "back" is a mistake. It's "Ev'rybody come bawl out sey, "Gyal yu characta gone!" . "Fan Mi Solja Man" goes back to at least 1904 and appears in "Jamaican song and Story" . The version in that book has only one verse, and the girl sells(?) herself for "sake-a ten-shilling shahl(shawl)"and mi characta gone!" Slightly related- does anyone know what a "stace-up" is? Does it mean anything, or is it just thrown in to rhyme with "lace-up?". I'm assuming it refers to clothes or jewellery.
