Lyrics

Ev'rything to keep me from sleepin' A lot of sailor boys they were leavin' And everybody there, they were jumpin' To hear the sailor boys in our chorus singin' 'Bout the brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby I'm goin' away, in a sailing boat And if I don't come back Stay home and mind baby Now the Americans made an invasion We thought it was a help to the island Until they left from here on vacation They left the native boy home to mind their children Singin', brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby I'm goin away, in a sailing boat And if I don't come back Stay home and mind baby Now I tell you the story 'bout Millie She made a nice blue-eyed baby They say she fancy the mother But the blue-eyed baby ain't know she father Now the Americans all had their pleasure While the music played to their leisure And everybody there they were jumpin' To hear the sailor boys in our chorus singin' 'Bout the brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby I'm goin' away, in a sailing boat And if I don't come back Stay home and mind baby Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby Brown skin girl, stay home and mind baby I'm goin' away, in a sailing boat And if I don't come back Stay home and mind baby
