How Do I Love Thee - West Indian Style {version 1}
TRINI POEM |
| You are the essence in my mauby De fish in my fishcakes I love you love you dearly You are the lard oil in my bakes. You are the coconut in my sweetbread De pigtail in my rice Just like piece of curry goat head I will love you till I dead. |
| You are the sardine in my gravy The dumplings in my soup I love you more than mi belly Yes I love you bad fah true Like banana leaf around my conkie I'll be always close to you Sweet like sugar in your green tea I'll do anything for you. |
| You are the sauce around my Cou Cou Hot like sweetbread when it done I will stick to you like dandruff Like the corns upon your toes Like the fat around your belly I'll be everywhere you goes. Cause you are my black pudding And I know I am your souse |
| When you call I will come running Like when a boar cat see a mouse Oh my pepper on my pork chop Sweet like sorrel when it mix When my hands caress your body You feel just like a couple-six You are sweeter than a snowcone I will give you all I own |
| You are sweeter than a hambone Soft and sweet like piece'o'pone No one can take me from you Not in this life or death My Panya girl I love you It's just your mudda uh cant tek. |

| You are the essence in my mauby De fish in my fishcakes I love you love you dearly You are the lard oil in my bakes. You are the coconut in my sweetbread De pigtail in my rice Just like piece of curry goat head I will love you till I dead. |
| You are the sardine in my gravy The dumplings in my soup I love you more than gambling Yes I love you bad fah true Like banana leaf around my conkie I'll be always close to you Sweet like sugar in your green tea I'll do anything for you. You are the sauce around my Cou Cou Hot like sweetbread when it done |
| In my arms I love to hold you Just like a glass a rum I will stick to you like dandruff Like the corns upon your toes Like the fat around your belly I'll be everywhere you go. Cause you are my black pudding And I know I am your souse When you call I will come running Like when a boar cat see a mouse |

Oh my pepper on my pork chop
Sweet like sorrel when it mix
When my hands caress your body
You feel just like a couple-six
You are sweeter than a snowcone
I will give you all I own
You are sweeter than a hambone
Soft and sweet like piece'o'pone
No one can take me from you
Not in this life or death
My Trini girl I love you
