Lyrics:

They say the fisherman sleep when the fish don't bite
Way up Susianna
Fish in the hold but we two ton light
Round the bay of Montserray

They say the fisherman's lady don't use no comb
Way up Susianna
She comb her hair with a codfish bone
Round the bay of Montserray

Way up Susianna
Round the bay of Montserray
Fish all night and we sleep all day
Round the bay of Montserray

They say the fisherman's lady got a dimply knee
Way up Susianna
She boil her Porgy with rice and peas
Round the bay of Montserray
