Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
In Trinidad there was a family
Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
A week went by and the summer came down
Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
He went to his mama and covered his head
Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
Return to other lyrics.
woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
with much confusion as you will see
there was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
and wanted to marry, have a wife of his own
he found a young girl who suited him nice
and went to his papa to ask his advice
his papa said son, I have to say no
that girl is your sister, but your mama don't know
woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
and soon the best cook in the island he found
he went to his papa to name the day
his papa shook his head and to him he did say
you can't marry this girl, I have to say no
this girl is your sister, but your mama don't know
woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
and told his mama what his papa had said
his mama she laughed, she said go man, go
your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know
woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
