Belamena

Belamena, Belamena, Belamena's in the harbour
Belamena, Belamena, Belamena's in the harbour
Put the Belamena on the dock
And paint the Belamena black, black, black
Paint the Belamena black, black black
When she come back, she was white

Oh the Mystery, oh the Mystery, she used to carry whisky
Oh the Mystery, oh the Mystery, little boat very frisky
Put the Mystery on the dock
And paint the Mystery black, black black
Paint the Mystery black, black, black
When she come back, she was white

Oh Inagua, Lady 'Nagua, she got stuck in New York Harbour
Oh Inagua, oh Inagua, she carried a very funny cargo
Put the 'Nagua on the dock
And paint Inagua black, black black
Paint Inagua black, black, black
When she come back, she was white

Belamena, Belamena, Belamena's in the harbour
Belamena, Belamena, Belamena's in the harbour
Put the Belamena on the dock
And paint the Belamena black, black, black
Paint the Belamena black, black black
When she come back, she was white
