Nobody canna cross it, is only who can understan it, cross it,
Nobody canna cross it, is only fisherman an a fisherwoman, [bad word] mi;
Nobody canna cross it, is only who can manage the water,

Nobody canna cross it, is only fisherman an a fisherwoman, [bad word] mi;
Nobody canna cross it, is only who can manage the water,

Not all the vehicle can cross it, this vehicle canna cross it;

Yesterday the bus [bad word] from town, a bus load a people, is just the mercy of god why the buss don't go over;
The bus can swim!, the bus can swim, the bus can swim;
Believe it or not, the bus can swim;
Yesterday the bus [bad word] from town, the bus can cross it,
The last time hurricane, wi affi bury up di top,
Nobody nuffi walk, di bus can swim,

Nobody canna cross it, is only fisherman an a fisherwoman, [bad word] mi;

Because nobody canna cross it, fisherman an a fisherwoman can cross it, like them understan it,
Cannot swim [bad word] mi, yuh gone to St. Thomas pond,

Nobody canna cross it, is only who understan it, cross it;
Nobody canna cross it, is only fisherman an a fisherwoman, [bad word] mi;
Nobody canna cross it, is only who can manage the water, is only so [bad word] ovah, or if we around to help them;

Nobody canna cross it, nobody cross it,
Is only who can swim cross it, cross it.
Nobody cross it!
