Story behind the song
Our bass player brought this song back from some caribbean guys he met while serving in the Korean Conflict. It's a traditional island song that has mutated to many different forms and lyrics over the decade.
Lyrics
A Miami friend of mine Said he had spend some time With a Bahamian Girl He met on his vacation He said they had so much fun That he wish it were never done How he miss the sand and sun And the sweet libations He say I think I’m in love My Bahama girl all I thinking of So I’m going back To my Bahama Mama I miss my baby I’m going crazy So I’m going back To my Bahama Mama My Bahama baby Oy Oy Love me Oy Oy Hold me Oy Oy Squeeze me Oy Oy Hug me Oy Oy Touch me Oy Oy Feel me Oy Oy Send me Oy Oy Bite me She said to me I don’t know If you really have to go Think about your job and so and you wife and family He turned and said pleadingly Xanadu is calling me There’s where I met my glee? And my life long fancy? He say I think I’m in love My Bahama girl all I thinking of So I’m going back To my Bahama Mama I miss my baby I’m going crazy So I’m going back To my Bahama Mama My Bahama baby Oy Oy Love me Oy Oy Hold me Oy Oy Squeeze me Oy Oy Hug me Oy Oy Touch me Oy Oy Feel me Oy Oy Send me Oy Oy Bite me So wrote I am MIA My flight was long delay So I sat to have a drink And do some contemplation That’s when I start to cry I don’t want to say good by But no matter how hard I try I can always feel it But you know I have no soul I gave Bahama complete control So I’m going back To my Bahama Mama I miss my baby I’m going crazy So I’m going back To my Bahama Mama My Bahama baby Oy Oy Love me Oy Oy Hold me Oy Oy Squeeze me Oy Oy Hug me Oy Oy Touch me Oy Oy Feel me Oy Oy Send me Oy Oy Bite me So tell me where you going (Bahama) Who’s that Calling (Your mama) Where you going (Bahama) Who’s that calling (Yo mama) Hey Hey (Bahama) Yo yo (Yo mama) Hey Hey (Bahama) Yo yo (Yo mama)
