Curry Land Lyrics - Donovan Leitch

Lady you are my peace of mind 

Were I to seek your par none I could find 

You delicately went to curry land 

And left a lonely man 

Ah me yogi blue 

He thought to himself as he sat before 

His stocks and shares a dreadful bore 

If I'm to live another happy day 

I best make haste and be on my way 

Oh me oh my 

He at his desk did write and indicate 

To lawyer friend and intimate 

His lamentable grief did necessitate 

The need for one swift bird to sail the ocean over 

A sailing schooner was soon seen sailing 

Swift and silent around the sound 

Salutating seagulls heralding 

The wondrous transport upon the wing 

Twenty days from Goa they did espie 

A wealthy merchant bound for Arabi-iy 

Exchanging greetings 

Had he heard the news 

The Lady Hall had drowned 

The price of Ninevah rose 

Storms and tempests his shattered mind beset 

Hurricanes of pains raged and tore 

Truly drowned in grief he did repair 

To haunted trinkets and gross despair 

All in white neath shade in bamboo chair 

Military discipline has replaced despair 

Anchored in the bay of innocence 

Is left a lonely man 

Lonely through and through
