    Uploaded by

    gisizzlah
    This folk song is in a Creole language and describes children without mothers who are unhappy, while also mentioning going to the river for a bath. It then discusses meeting the devil on Monday morning by the chapel, who was carrying keys and a bible, and being asked about his dinner and music plans, which include unusual and sometimes humorous foods and games.

    Monday morning ah went by De Chapel

    Run down De road

    Ah met de devil with de key and de bible

    Ask him what he go have for dinner

    Mosquito legs and sand fly liver

    Ask him what he go play for service

    Play cards and seby leby

    Wet de cross with de holy water

    And run away with de preacher’s daughter
