Marty Robbins - Bahama Mama lyrics
[Marty Robbins - Bahama Mama lyrics]
On the tropic little island of Bimini
I go to bar where lights are bright
Calypso music everything all right
Beautiful woman do a dance
Do the Limbo, put me in a trance
I say, "Man, what her name be?"
He say, "Bahama mama
And she wild and free"
Lonely was I from many days at sea
I wanted this woman who was wild and free
Say, Bahama mama, Limbo with me?
She work me over like Hurricane Shirley
Drink much rum, get me in a fight
Sailor hit me on head, out go lights
When I came to, guess what I see?
Bahama mama, and she kissing me
Bahama mama now tell me she love me
Her beauty and the rum make me feel dizzy
From look on her face, I can see
Bahama Mama not belong to me
Bahama mama do a dance when
She do the Limbo, put me in a trance
I lucky man, everyone would say
Bahama mama claim lover today
Never ever more will I go to sea
Bahama mama and me will soon marry
We gonna do everything up right
Bahama mama gonna love me day and night
Pretty soon, then, there'll be three:
Bahama mama, little baby and me
I so happy, hard to b'lieve
Bahama mama now belong to me
Bahama mama do a dance when
She do the Limbo, put me in a trance
I lucky man, everyone would say
Bahama mama claim lover today
