Down in Demerara

1. There was a man who had a horse-alum,
had a horse-alum, had a horse-alum,
Was a man who had a horse-alum, down in Demerara.

Refrain
And here we sits like birds in the wilderness,
birds in the wilderness, birds in the wilderness.
Here we sits like birds in the wilderness
down in Demerara.

2. Now that poor horse he fell a-sick-alum,
fell a-sick-alum, fell a-sick-alum,
That poor horse, he fell a-sick-alum, down in Demerara.
