(Folk song from Trinidad)
Mary gone a-mountain, Highland dey!
Get yellow plantain, Highland dey!
Mary gone a-mountain, Highland dey!
Wid she yellow plantain, Highland dey!
Mary climb up de mountain, Highland dey!
Get more yellow plantain, Highland dey!
Mary boil de plantain, Highland dey!
Up on de mountain, Highland dey!
Mary come down de mountain, Highland dey!
Wid she yellow plantain, Highland dey!
Mary eat she plantain, Highland dey!
All round de mountain, Highland dey!
Highland dey, Highland dey,
Highland dey, Highland dey!
