Benwood Dick

[Verse 1]
Aye, little boy, let me tell you this
Don't be afraid, I ain't the police
You wouldn't know me, but I want you to show me
A girl around here they call Mildred
When I tell you mister, Mildred is meh sister
He jump up and then he said

[Chorus]
Tell your sister to come down quick
I have something for here for she
Tell she it's Mr. Benwood Dick
The man from Sangre Grande
She know me well, hmm.. I gih she already hmm..
She must remember me
Go on, go on, tell she Mr. Benwood come

[Verse 2]
Sorry old man, that won't do for me
I don't carry message for anybody
If you want to see she, don't worry to send me
Climb up the step, you won't fall
It have a bell on the gate, ring it and wait
She must come after you call

[Chorus]
Tell your sister to come down quick
I have something for here for she
Tell she it's Mr. Benwood Dick
The man from Sangre Grande
She know me well, hmm.. I gih she already hmm..
She must remember me
Go on, go on, tell she Mr. Benwood come

[Verse 3]
If you see the man, you might dead with fright
Especially if it's in the night
Wearing a big old straw hat
A dirty, dirty alpagat
All he shirt colored black and greasy
I don't see what kind of business a man like this
Could have with my sister Milly

He bawling:

[Chorus]
Tell your sister to come down quick
I have something for here for she
Tell she it's Mr. Benwood Dick
The man from Sangre Grande
She know me well, hmm.. I gih she already hmm..
She must remember me
Go on, go on, tell she Mr. Benwood come

[Verse 4]
Curiosity had meh head confused
I wonder what Mildred doing with a man who can't buy shoes
They start to talk and talk, then they went for a walk
If you see them hand in hand
When he gone and ask she, who is he?
She tell me, is she compere, but was she man

He bawling:

[Chorus]
Tell your sister to come down quick
I have something for here for she
Tell she it's Mr. Benwood Dick
The man from Sangre Grande
She know me well, hmm.. I gih she already hmm..
She must remember me
Go on, go on, tell she Mr. Benwood come
