Lyrics:
John belly grow!
Ah was diggin' potatoes, John belly grow!
An' ah dig ten baskit, John belly grow!
No man to pass here, John belly grow!
An' de police can't catch me, John belly grow!
Right roun' de harbour, John belly grow!
No coo-coo pon de table, John belly grow!
Ah was diggin' potatoes, John belly grow!
An' ah dig ten baskit, John belly grow!
No man to pass here, John belly grow!
An' de police can't catch me, John belly grow!
Right roun' de harbour, John belly grow!
No coo-coo pon de table, John belly grow!
