Subject: RE: Origins: Brown Skin Girl- folksong from Grenada
FYI, the translation of the lyrics to Brown Skin Girl by Lord Invader on fandom are wrong. https://lyrics.fandom.com/wiki/Lord_Invader:Brown_Skin_Girl

This line: "And if daddy don't come back throw away the darn baby" Should be this "And daddy if you don't come back don't say it my baby" it is a bit hard to make out what he's saying in the recording, so he could be saying "And daddy if you don't come back and go say it my baby" Which may more more sense. He's definitely not saying to throw away the baby.
