I'm not asking for social equality,

To exist now and provide for all age
So kind hearted employers,

Give me something to do
From the day when I began to sing
B
My mother told me I'll be a king

the better you'll be

And when you sing all the minor psalms,
B
E
it will cause trials and a sensation
So kind -hearted employers,

the Calypso King of the West Indy
And every man was born to be free
