Woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
In Trinidad there was a family
With much confusion as you will see
It was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
He wanted to marry, have a wife of his own
Found a young girl that suited him nice
Went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa said: "Son, I have to say no,
This girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
A week went by and the summer came 'round
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 did say
"You Can't marry this girl, I have to say no
This girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
He went to his mama and covered his head
And told his mama what his papa had said
His mama she laughed, she say, "Go man, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know."
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
The years went by
The boy wished he was dead.
He found seventeen girls and still wasn't wed
He went to his Papa
His Papa said: "No, those girls are your sisters
But your Mama don't know."
