Linstead Market

Linstead Market

This is actually a folksong from Jamaica but is so well known that I have included it in this collection all the same.

   D                                  G           D
I carry mi ackee, go a Linstead Market
A7                            D
Not a quattie wort
h sell
I carry me ackee, go a Linstead Market
Not a quattie worth sell.

(Chorus)
D                   A7                D
Lawd what a night, not a bite
A7                       D
What a Saturday night
D                    A7               D
Lawd what a night not a bite
A7                         D
What a Saturday night.

Everybody come feel up, feel up
Not a quattie worth sell
Everybody come feel up, feel up
Not a quattie worth sell.

(Chorus)

Do mi mommy nuh beat mi kill mi
Sake (take) a Merry-go-round
Do mi mommy don't beat me kill
Sake a Merry-go-round.

(Chorus)

All di pickney dem a linga linga
Fi weh dem mumma no bring
All di pickney dem a linga linga
Fi weh dem mumma no bring.

Lawd, what a night, not a bite
What a Saturday night
Lawd, what a night, not a bite
How di pickney gwine feed?
