DemeraraIs that your name?Did you put Georgetown'sWhite streets to shame?Well I love you, babyAnd I can't controlAnd in a Stabröek marketI'll buy your body and soul'Cause you give me that soul loveBaby, sure taste sweetJust show me a manThat kind of loving wouldn't knock himTo his feetGimme that soul loveBaby, can't be beatAll you gotta do is callTo hear the patter of my bare feet'Cause you gimme that soul loveBaby, can't you seeYou got me cutting in a cane fieldI'm working back some dignitySongtexteWell, you gimme that soul loveYou get me banging on your coconut drumI'm the shade of a monkey puzzle treeDesdemonaIs that your name?Did you put VeniceAnd her gods to shameWell I love you, babyAnd I can't controlAnd in the judge's courtroomI'll buy your body and buy your soulSlow like the river flowsIt's slow, slow, like the still wheel turnsSlow like my lover's eyes to crySlow like the cane to burn Aus Songtexte Mania
