Byron Lee & Mighty Sparrow - Maria
But remember I love you so
Unfortunately we must part
Girl, you don't know how it breaks my heart
I wish I could a stay with you
And gi' you what is yours, dou-dou
But until we meet again, I know
Right now we got to say adio'
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Maria!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Maria!
I like the way you walk, Marie
And I like the way you talk, Marie
I like the way you smile, Marie
You know you have me going wild, Marie
It's very plain to see, Marie
How much you mean to me, Marie
I don't care if I starve, Marie
You'll get all the money I have, Marie
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Maria!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Maria!
I went home to Marie last night
But somebody nearly out me light
I don't know what was his reason
Now the police have him in prison
I don't know if what he said was true
He says he loves Maria too
But now I can't see what to do
Because he have me eyes well black and blue
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Maria!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Maria!

Dou-dou means "sweetie," in the French Creole that they used to speak in Trinidad.
