My grandfather married one fine St. Kitts woman
She would come to our house and make on the
stove
Some of them peppermint patties
Put in sugar in a beer call it ale
Sayin' Junnie why ya take it from me
You know that my grandfather married
One fine St. Kitts woman
She would hold you love you and scold you
Making sure she told you everything she could
feel
And now I feel that spirit deep down in my soul
Make me think back to ancestors
Who lived a long time ago
Who lived a long time ago
For that my grandfather married one St. Kitts
w o m a n
My grandfather married one fine St. Kitts woman
She would come liltin' with her voice to the house
Makin' peppermint patties
take it Junnie, put some sugar in her beer
Call it ale, Junnie, take it from me
You know that my grandfather married one fine
St. Kitts woman
She would hold you, love you, and scold you
Making sure she told you
They will never know what it is you need
When you hear that spirit moving in your soul
It's a message from an ancestor
who lived a long time ago
Ruled the world and all its gold
I say, when you feel that spirit, Chile,
moving in your soul
'Tis a message from an ancestor who
lived a long time ago
ived a long, long time ago
or that my grandfather married
one fine St. Kitts woman
My grandfather married one fine
St. Kitts woman
