My parents are both Guyanese, but I was born in England and have been trying to reconnect with Guyanese culture, especially through music. Thank you so much for posting these! :)
My aunts and uncles in Canada never let us forget these folks song and Kwe kwe songs when going to Canada every year. We do enjoy ourselves singing.good times.
I love these songs thanks for posting!! I love and miss my country reminds me of when I was a child!! Memories thanks for posting these songs make me feel closer to Guyana
You're the man! I've been looking for these for more than 30 years. Thanks for posting them. Right now I'm just enjoying the memories they bring back....
1.Morning neighbour morning (3); I don't want your conniving morning. When you were at Kurupung (mines), you didn't tell me morning. Now because your money's done, you 're hustling to tell me morning. Morning neighbour morning (3); I don't want your conniving morning. 2. Neighbour neighbour joker (3); this is all the money I worked for. A two-pound note & a guilder-piece; two-pound note & a guilder-piece. Morning neighbour morning (3); I don't want your conniving morning. 3. How Joseph bore me (3); what will (can) I buy with a guilder-piece? One bunch green-plantains, one string kwackwari (fish) (tamarind?); One chilled black-pepper - that's what you can buy with a guilder-piece. Morning neighbour morning (3); I don't want your conniving morning. 4. Bamboo fire, what kind of fire; bamboo fire makes so, makes so. (2) Bamboo fire, hot hot fire; bamboo fire makes so, behaves so. (2) 6 o'clock & the stuff's not ready; man comes home & the food's not ready.(2) Bamboo fire, what kind of fire; bamboo fire makes so, makes so. (2) Bamboo fire, hot hot fire; bamboo fire makes so, behaves so. (2) 5. Four in the morning, the cocks crow; hear Auntie Bess is hollering.(2) Hoist your bundle, let us go; hear Auntie Bess is hollering. (2) Hear Auntie Bess, hear Auntie Bess; hear Auntie Bess is hollering. (2) Why's she hollering, why's she hollering, what's she hollering for? (2) Hear Auntie Bess, hear Auntie Bess; hear Auntie Bess is hollering. (2) 6. One morning the captain waited, he waited to wake the boat-man. The captain waited & the boat-man woke-up with a paddle in his hand. All I want is it to be long and strong, long & strong is too much, O man. Long and strong is for the economy; economy, economy, economy oh! Captain, captain please put me ashore; I don't want to go anymore, aha! Economy, it will drive me crazy; economy, it will quickly drown-up me. Economy, it will upset my tommy; economy, it's just too much for me, aha! Captain, captain please put me ashore; I don't want to go anymore, aha! .
For those who did not notice, I made this comment to move from 69 to 70. Let's move on to Who is singing these songs? Always heard but never took the time to find out the singers?

@derrider sometimes its shameful to say im guyanese, because of the corruptness, and bad system of government.
