Lyrics
(Folk song from Trinidad)
Young man, dis is de way to my home,
If you have no money don’t come.
Young man, dis is de way to my home,
If you have no money don’t come.
Doggie, doggie, look bone!
Look-a bone, look-a bone, a Mary backbone.
Doggie, doggie, look bone!
Look-a bone, look-a bone, a Mary backbone.
Refrain
Doggie, doggie, look bone!
Look-a bone, look-a bone, a Mary backbone.
Doggie, doggie, look bone!
Look-a bone, look-a bone, a Mary backbone.
Young man, won’t you follow me home?
If you have no money, don’t come.
Young man, won’t you follow me home?
But if you have no money, don’t come.
Doggie, doggie, look bone!
Look-a bone, look-a bone, a Mary backbone.
Doggie, doggie, look bone!
Look-a bone, look-a bone, a Mary backbone. (refrain)
