LA TRINITY
By Darnley Ashby

I'm sorry, I'm so very sorry
You went through all this trouble just to send for me
Summer was fine, I had a good time
But this winter business is out of my line
Every day it colder, I can't take the pressure
I want to go back home to make a lime by the corner
So much woman passing, they looking fine, big coat hiding dey body line
Oh no, I got to go!

But if you really want me, follow me, pack yuh back in a hurry
'Cause I taking a plane heading for Port of Spain
You could always import another man or find yourself a Canadian
But me? - back to La Trinity!

That e-mail that you sent to me
Saying all is well, the only thing is you lonely
I said, OK, I'll be on my way
As soon as you fix up all my papers, I coming to stay
My intentions was good, I did the best I could
You told me to hurry up before you lose your womanhood
But thanks for the opportunity but I miss a Carnival already
Bye bye, it's time to fly.

But if you really want me, follow me, pack yuh back in a hurry
'Cause I taking a plane heading for Port of Spain
You could always import another man or fix up with a Jamaican
But me? - back to La Trinity!

You know why, baby don't you cry
But you got to admit that I really, really try
But the urge too strong, I can't fight it down
I seeing Port of Spain every time I turn around
But they say things hard back in Trinidad
But if I don't go home I going staring hard
And if things get bad and I feeling hungry
Licks for mih neighbour mango tree
Aeroplane, take me to Port of Spain!

But if you really want me, follow me, pack yuh back in a hurry
'Cause I taking a plane heading for Port of Spain
You could always import another man or find yourself a Nigerian
But me? - back to La Trinity!

Now listen don't get angry
I still looking for all those nice things you used to send for me
Right to the end we must remain friends
I can never forget those happy times we spend
And when you come down for Carnival
I will be there for we to make we bacchanal
Everything will turn out fine, I still want mih barrel at Christmas time
Yes, doudou, yes, you are the best!

But if you really want me, follow me, pack yuh back in a hurry
'Cause I taking a plane heading for Port of Spain
You could always import another man or get yourself a Grenadian
But me? - back to La Trinity!
But me? - back to La Trinity!
But me? - back to La Trinity!
But me? - back to La Trinity!

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Darnley Ashby, for this song that had me laughing and commiserating at the same time. I will place this song in the same category as "Canada So Cold" by Lord Melody.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
