One Day In Trinidad
One day in Trinidad
Was with my brother
Down in San Fernando
See a girl walking up the street
From the store window
And I ask roger
If he knows her
And when we came out side
She was already in a car
Then she looks at me
As the car drives away
Couldn’t get her of my mind
Thought of her the whole day
And roger say don’t worry
We will try to find her
You full the tank with gas
And I will drive the car
So we start from princess town
Thru Claxton Bay /Pointe-a-Pierre
We reach all the to St. Mary's / Waterloo
But the girl was no where
Who is this mystery lady?
I am looking for in Trinidad
Don’t even know her name
But want to meet her very bad
Roger say lets call we Cousin Julie
She know people from Couva to Caratal
She ask we how the girl look
Then say boy I don’t know her at all
Stop and drink some coconut water
Then drive up to Port of Spain
Pass thru Maracas Bay/Santa Cruz
But we didn’t see her again
Who is this mystery lady?
Some where in Trinidad
Don’t even knows her name
But still I’m feeling sad
From St. Ann's/Cascade/Mon Repos
To debe/penal/ Barrackpore
From maracas/st.joseph/lopinot
But we never see her no more
So we when to mayaro beach
Beautiful day with the sky so blue
We stop to buy some doubles from a girl
And you will never guess who
Now having bee’s ice cream couple years after
She laughs when our baby mess her blouse
We been married two years now
And having bar be que by Julie’s by house
