作曲 : Norman Span

Everything to keep me from sleepin'

A lot of sailor boys they were leavin'

And everybody there, they were jumpin'

To hear the sailor boys in our chorus singin'

"Ah di brown skin girl stay home and mind baby

Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby

l'm goin' away in a sailing boat

And if I don't come back

Stay home and mind baby"

Now the Americans made an invasion

We thought it was a help to the island

Until they left from here on vacation

They left the native boy home to mind their children

Singin', "Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby

Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby

l'm goin' away in a sailing boat

And if I don't come back

Stay home and mind baby"

Now I tell you the story 'bout Millie

She made a nice blue-eyed baby

They say she fancy the mother

But the blue-eyed baby ain't know she father

Now the Americans all had their pleasure

While the music played to their leisure

And everybody there, they were jumpin'

To hear the sailor boys in our chorus singin’

"Ah di brown skin girl stay home and mind baby

Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby

I'm goin' away in a sailing boat

And if I don't come back

Stay home and mind baby

Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby

Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby

l'm goin' away in a sailing boat

And if I don't come back
