| Lyrics: | John, John, the Water Man
I went down to Gila Point
To hear master Sheila
blow,
John, John, de water man
The fire man below, boy,
John, John, de
water man
John, John, de oh.
Break oar, break oar
Me master can' buy
more.
John, John, de water man
John, John, below.
Singing John, John,
de water man
John, John, below.
I stepped right up to Gila
To hear master
Sheila blow.
John, John, de water man
The fire man below, boy,
Singing
John, John, de water man
John, John, below.
Broke oar, broke oar
Me master
can' buy more.
John, John, de water man
The fire man below, boy,
Singing John, John, de water man
John, John, below.
From Roger Abraham's Deep
the Water, Shallow the Shore
Note: Purportedly about a burning of a boat a long time ago off
a
point on St. Kitts. "The singers thought Sheila referred to the
wind." A rowing song
from small-boat fishermen.
