Brown Girl In The Ring Lyrics
Tra la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum
Tra la la la la
Come on show me your motion
Tra la la la la la
Show me your motion
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum
Got nowhere to wash my cloths
All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths
We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes
I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes
Beng-a-deng
Tra la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum
Tra la la la la
Come on show me your motion
Tra la la la la la
Show me your motion
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum
Got nowhere to wash my cloths
All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths
We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes
I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes
Beng-a-deng
Tra la la la la
See, brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum
Got nowhere to wash my cloths
All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths
Tra la la la la
Look that brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum
I like The Wiggles version of this song much better
Well either the person who wrote this was on acid... or its about african american slaves beating on a black girl.
This song was featured in the movie "touching the void" and I could not get it out my head for the succeeding 6 months. It's like a bloody virus. Cheers to Boney M tho for writing such an infectious tune.
It's actually about a game played in Jamaica of the same name.
Yeah same here nillad1000, When it started playing that song in the movie I cracked up and Ive had it in my head ever since.
The first I heard this song was at a disco in Izmir Turkiye, called "ALWAYS". Boney M was huge there. I love them and have just about every song they made. And yes it is about a Jamaican kids game. Kinda like our Ring Around The Rosie
sugar in a plumb ... sugar plumb 'FAIRY'... brown girl look fair.
Show me your motion
show me emotion....
Saturday (Saturn's day) is the day when the masters and slaves swap places.
Jamaica references (johnny cakes)
All had water run dry
sounds like 'holy water run dry' on the performances....
I met them when I was very very young, I was born in late 76. it was my favorite song when I was a year or two old.
