There's a Smithsonian/Folkways CD by Lord Invader titled Calypso In New York. The CD, issued in 2000, is a collection of recordings which Lord Invader (Rupert Westmore Grant, 1914-1962) recorded for Moses Asch in the 1940s and 1950s. One cut is "Mary Ann," recorded in the Summer of 1947:

MARY ANN

V-Day was a holiday,
So Colored and White start to breakaway,
Ah ha, V-Day was a holiday,
Colored and White start to break-away,
Everybody join in the bacchanal,
Playing their Royal Carnival.

Chorus:
Singing all day, all night Miss Mary Ann,
Went by the seaside and sifting sand,
Even little children join with the band,
Singing, "All day, all night Miss Mary Ann."

Yes, I was not there but I read and heard,
That the steel band was the first on the road,
John Williams with his Orchestra,
Make bacchanal like fire!
You couldn't tell the old from the young,
Everybody shaking around.
Chorus

The United States President,
Said he didn't want any excitement,
Because America was at war,
So we couldn't have our amusement as before,
I really miss my bacchanal,
I wish I was in Trinidad for the Carnival.
Chorus.


Notes:
From 1942 onwards during the war years, the ban on carnival street parades was rigorously enforced. It was first relaxed on V-E Day—8 May 1945—on the surrender of Germany, when festivities lasted two full days. A similar jubilation was held at the capitulation of Japan on 14 August—V-J Day. On both occasions the burgeoning steel bands took to the streets en masse, and the principal theme song of each celebration was "Mary Ann." As he indicates in his second verse— "Yes, I was not there but I read and heard"—Invader did not attend either revelry, being in the United States to pursue his copyright suit.
Atilla the Hun attributes this composition to the Lion (Quevedo, Atilla's Kaiso p. 85). By reputation, however, its chorus is based on a very bawdy lyric, a version of which was collected by Thomas J. Price in the small island of San Andreas ("Sound Bay Girl" in Caribbean Rhythms, Folkways 8811).
