Out De Fire Lyrics - Calypso Carnival/the Warm Touch - Harry Belafonte

Long time ago in Trinidad 

Happen such a thing to make you sad 

Had a big fire where they make the rum 

For miles around all the people come 

And they shouting 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

A little old woman past eighty eight 

Running in the fire thru the burning gate 

Before you could beat on a funeral drum 

She was rollin' out a peck o' rum 

And she singing

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

The way de woman runnin' into the flame 

Man you would think was a Carnival game 

I Tell you friends it was a sight to see 

I never had known such bravery 

And she screaming 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

The way de woman runnin' with a bucket and line 

Man she was working overtime 

She work up her sweat and never complain 

She was drinking rum and prayin' for rain 

And she singing

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

You could see the fire way down the road 

Everybody waited for the thing to explode 

The distillery burnt down to the ground 

Not a single drop of rum could be found 

And they singing 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Although it all happened a long time ago 

There is one thing that I don't know 

She was eighty eight there is no doubt 

How she get all the rum in she mouth 

And she singing 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there 

Out the fire down there
