Aw Nigger (1960s): Back to Main Lyrics Page
Singer: Melody

Aw nigger, sweet nigger, aw nigger
Come go Calcutta

[Repeat]

No dulahin, gyal I cyan come back here again
I tellin you plain, dulahin
I cyan come back here again
Suppose yuh man ketch we in de act
Take a big stick and open meh back
So yuh see somebody go dead
The Indian gyul held on to she head
Aw nigger, sweet nigger, aw nigger
Come go Calcutta
Ramlal go know de truth
When he do gyal I afraid he shoot
Just as I make meh attempt to go
You know she run and she lock de door
You got to leave me a souvenir
She shout confidentially
I told her darlin' I cyan not wait
I love you but it's getting late
Nigger man, you cyan leave at all
And louder and louder she start to bawl

[Chorus]

Ramlal eh makin fun
When he know he go use de gun
Dulahin cry when I told her dis was goodbye
She run at me and she start to fight
Kilwalni sleep wid me tonight
I told her plain I cyan make de grade
She asked me why I set out my pain
Melody, yuh cyan leave at all
And as ah kiss she, she start to bawl

[Chorus]

Ramlal go know de truth
When he know gyul I'm afraid he shoot.

[Instruments: piano and horn]
