Out de Fire

Long time ago in Trinidad Happen such a thing to make you sad Had a big fire where they make the rum For miles around all the people come And they shouting Out the fire down there (out the fire) Out the fire down there (in the water) Out the fire down there (out the fire) Out the fire down there A little old woman past 88 Running in the fire through the burning gate Before you could beat on a funeral drum She was rollin' out a peck o' rum And she singing Out the fire down there (out the fire) Out the fire down there (in the water) Out the fire down there (out the fire) Out the fire down there The way de woman runnin' into the flame Man you would think was a Carnival game I tell you, friends it was a sight to see I never had known such bravery And she screaming Out the fire down there (out the fire) Out the fire down there (in the water) Out the fire down there (out the fire) Out the fire down there The way de woman runnin' with a bucket and line Man she was working overtime She work up her sweat and never complain She was drinking rum and prayin' for rain And she singing Out the fire down there (out the fire) Out the fire down there (in the water) Out the fire down there (out the fire) Out the fire down there You could see the fire way down the road Everybody waited for the thing to explode The distillery burnt down to the ground Not a single drop of rum could be found And they singing Out the fire down there (out the fire) Out the fire down there (in the water) Lordy, out the fire down there (out the fire) woo!
