No Worry for the Berry

NO WORRY FOR THE BERRY
by: Digney Fignus

down by the river and the papaw tree
there pickin’ berries is the sweet Marie
holdin’ the fruit ripe in her hand
apron full and her face so tan
over the hill come the fair Etienne
pole on ‘is shoulder an’ a fish for the pan
he want to know, oh, oh
where the berries go?

ei, yi, yi, yi, (ei, yi, yi, yi)
oh, la, la, la, (oh, la, la, la)
she come for da berry, and da berry come to d’ jar
ei, yi, yi, yi, (ei yi, yi, yi)
oh, la, la, la, (oh, la, la, la)
say, no worry for da berry, ‘cause da berry come to d’ jar

Etienne he swear to sweet Marie
‘e go right there down on his knee
from his pocket come his hand
he pledge Marie to be her man
go to the chapel and they jump the broom
next thing you know, a baby cryin’ in the room
he want to know, oh, oh
where the berries go?

ei, yi, yi, yi, (ei, yi, yi, yi)
oh, la, la, la, (oh, la, la, la)
she come for da berry, and da berry come to d’ jar
ei, yi, yi, yi, (ei yi, yi, yi)
oh, la, la, la, (oh, la, la, la)
say, no worry for da berry, ‘cause da berry come to d’ jar

come with me under the starry sky
we’re gonna dance all night, we’re gonna wonder why
we’re gonna go, oh, oh where the waters flow
run with me, I’ll take you by the hand
we’re gonna live our life and love the best we can
I know, oh, oh, there you want to go

ei, yi, yi, yi, (ei, yi, yi, yi)
oh, la, la, la, (oh, la, la, la)
she come for da berry, and da berry come to d’ jar
ei, yi, yi, yi, (ei yi, yi, yi)
oh, la, la, la, (oh, la, la, la)
say, no worry for da berry, ‘cause da berry come to d’ jar
say, no worry for da berry, ‘cause da berry come to d’ jar
say, no worry for da berry, ‘cause da berry come to d’ jar
