Elaine glad ship in port
She does rob them Norwegian sailors for sport
When the police hold she, look at misery
She tell the sergeant in the station
Sparrow is she man
But look at meh crosses
Nap ah feeling shame (shame, shame!)
Corbeau, why she walking 'bout
And calling meh name
Telling people she love meh
But Elaine, Elaine
I ain't working rubbish again
Yesterday ah went South
Because I had a little business to see about
Quite in San Fernando people say they know
Say they know Elaine minding me
With plenty Yankee money
But look at meh crosses
Nap ah feeling shame (shame, shame!)
Corbeau, why she walking 'bout
And calling meh name
Telling people she's in love with meh
But Elaine, Elaine
I ain't working rubbish again
Anywhere Elaine go
She does always have something to say 'bout Sparrow
Well if she ain't crazy something wrong with she
For anytime she drink a few straight Vat
Is now love talk start
Well look at meh crosses
Nap ah feeling shame (shame, shame!)
Corbeau, why she walking 'bout
And calling meh name
Telling people you, you love meh
But Elaine, Elaine
I ain't working rubbish again
Elaine went Tobago
And she thief a bag of yam and some potato
So the Corporal take she down to C.I.D.
And when he hear she in love with Sparrow
Sergeant let she go
But look at meh crosses
Well ah feeling shame (shame, shame!)
Corbeau, why she walking 'bout
And calling meh name
You say you love me
But Elaine, Elaine
I ain't working rubbish again
