I wrote this is in 2006 and recorded a version of it in 2007. Original was influenced by calypso and palm wine music.
Lyrics
Oh sipping rum
my heart goes numb
Waters dance
Jenny won't come
She was a brown eyed girl
she wore a sugar crown
She went off to the sweethearts' dance
And left me feeling down
Oh sipping rum
my heart goes numb
Breeze may blow
Jenny won't come
Left a message for her
about a hurricane
She never got my meaning
Thought I was insane
Oh sipping rum
my heart goes numb
Palms sway
Jenny won't come
Jenny rocked the dance
hurricane rocked the island
I know that she won't dance again
my heart keeps on denyin'
Oh sipping rum
my heart goes numb
Waters sleep
Jenny won't come
