Variations on a theme: American-Trinidadian: Gin And Cocoanut Water, w&m Wilmoth Houdini And His Royal Calypso Orchestra, Decca 23543, 1946. Note: I've seen unvalidated release dates as early as 1939.
Jamaican: Rum and Coconut Water (w&m Jamaican businessman Abe Issa) Hubie Porter, Times Record UD.1005, Jamaica, 1950.
American-Bahamian: Gin & Coconut Water (w&m American composer Alice Simms) First recording is a bit of a mystery but not far off from the above. Bahamian Blake Alphonso Higgs (1915 - 1986) Blind Blake (2) Blake Alphonso Higgs
Nothing at all to do with any of the above: American: Arthur Blake (1896 - 1934) Blind Blake Blind Blake
