Calypso Rose - Abatina/Calypso Blues

More on Calypso Rose

Tina was no deceiver
Few were inclined to believe her
Aba Tina oh, who you have there breakin' down the door?


She was lucky to marry
A rich rich man, handsome like Harry
Aba Tina oh, who you have there breakin' down the door?

Harry was a charmer
No one believed he could harm her
Aba Tina oye, who you have there breakin' down the door?
Aba Tina oye, who you have there breakin' down the door?


The wedding was the talk of the town, the girl gone down in a long long white gown
Aba Tina oh, who you have there breakin' down the door?
Said she want to marry above her;
All she want was someone to love her
Aba Tina oye, who you have there breakin' down the door?
The news came first, they called her a liar;
She had no sound, she mouth full of wire

Aba Tina oye, who you have there breakin' down the door?
Aba Tina oye, who you have there breakin' down the door?


In the end, Tina was buried by the church where she got married.
Aba Tina oye, who you have there breakin' down the door?
Tina should have outlived us, now we pray that she will forgive us
Aba Tina oh, who you have there breakin' down the door?


Tina was no deceiver,
But few were inclined to believe her
Aba Tina oye, who you have there breakin' down the door?

Aba Tina...
Aba Tina...



And this blows Nat King Cole's version out the water ( sorry Nat, I love you but... yeah..)
