Black but Sweet

歌詞

She's black and homely, and that is all She's black and homely, and that is all When men meet her, they're bound to fall, and tell her "Mammie, girl, you're sweet, O Lord" Go to Chaguanas and you will see A nice black woman they call Didi When she press her sweet lips to mine, I said "Mommie, kiss poppie all the time" Didi is the pride of my heart I felt so funny with her to part The people in the county of Caroni Can tell how Didi love Houdini Young boys take this advice from me Don't put yourself in difficulty For it is a positive fact The sweetest women in this world are black Don't even mind, when you get a horn If another mule kick up in your stall With your black baby you are going to stay You cannot leave her and go away I said Didi, I'm going away But no longer I cannot stay Mommie, yes it is a positive fact Sweet Houdini soon be coming back
