Singer: Mighty Dougla
Let us suppose they pass a law
They don't want people living here anymore
[Repeat these two lines]
Everybody got to find they country
According to your race originally
What a confusion I would cause in de place
They might have to shoot me in space
[Chorus]
Because they sending Indians to India
And the Negroes back to Africa
Can somebody please just tell me
Where they sending poor me
[Female voice] Oh doudou
I am neither one nor the other
Six of one, half a dozen of the other
If they serious about sending back people for true
They got to split me in two
From the time ah small ah in confusion
Ah couldn't play with no other lil children
If ah go by the Negro children to play
They say 'You little coolie now run away'
Ah go by the Indian children next door
They say 'Nowayrian, what you come here for'
Ah always by meself like ah lil monkey
Not one single child wouldn't play with me
[Chorus]
If they serious about sending back people for true
They bound to split me in two
Hear what happen to me recently
Ah going down Jogie Road walking peacefully
Some Indians and Negroes rioting
Poor me didn't know not a single thing
But as ah enter in de Odit Trace
Ah Indian man cuff me straight in meh face
Ah run by the Negroes to get rescue
'Look ah coolie!' and them start beating me too
[Chorus]
Some fellas having a race discussion
I jump in to give my opinion
A young fella watch me in meh face
He say, yuh shut your mouth yuh ain't got no race
What he say to me was a real insult
But is not right to blame, is meh fadder fault
When you see half a race talking to (?)
Instead of having one race yuh know I got two
[Chorus] |
