I Got Banana Stain

I got green banana stain in my heart I got Lacatan, Gros Michel, and Robuster And payday tomorrow, sweetheart I got big fields and dreams in a cluster I got banana stain Flowing in my Elderslie vein And all I want is rain To come on top tomorrow again. I clear the land, and terrace the hill Rid me of the nematodes and fungus there Clean seed my corms, my day I fill With work songs that from childhood I hear I got banana stain Flowing in my Elderslie vein And all I want is rain To come on top tomorrow again. My children are gone to England to see A new world without banana trees and blues To climb ladders of brighter literacy But me, this is all the kingdom I will chose I got banana stain Flowing in my Elderslie vein And all I want is rain To come on top tomorrow again Government take my fruits from boxing plant And move them by long boats to ships That's when mscles churn like water, they pant With oars that make sweet sweat drips I got banana stain Flowing in my Eldersle vein And all I want is rain To come top tomorrow again I got green banana stain in my heart Short nights an long days swaddling the bunches And payday tomorrow, sweetheart Pot to boil, and child dreaming while he lunches I got banana stain Flowing in my Elderslie vein And all I want is rain To come on top tomorrow again
