Description
A mento-style song attributed to Lord Burgess (Irving Burgie), an American-born, half-Barbadian songwriter. It was made amous
in the 1950s by Harry Belafonte and subsequently covered by damned
near EVERYONE, including the Kingson Trio, who made it even
more famous. When I say “everyone,” I mean it was even done by
rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry, believe it or not.
