Van Dyke Parks - Sweet Trinidad lyrics

rate me

Sweet Trinidad, sweet sweet Trinidad

Darling keep the home fires burning

Use gas, don't burn any wood

Well, I've traveled the USA from north to south

I didn't meet a single girl to shout about

They worked me very hard but they paid me good

I put on a little weight eating Yankee food

From Miami to New York to Los Angeles

Wherever I play the people mighty pleased

Yankee dollar really appeals to me

Never forget sweet la Trinity

I'll remember

Sweet Trinidad, sweet sweet Trinidad

Darling keep your home fires burning

Use gas, don't burn any wood
