Banua
Chorus:
Banua, Banua, Banua, oh!
Banua, Banua, baby, I don't know.
Banua, Banua, Banua, oh!
Banua, Banua, baby, I don't know.

Won't you come to me, baby?
Won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
they put down in the Banua jail.

Chorus

I didn't mean to be fightin'
and bringin' you all of this shame,
But the tongue of Jonathan Brighton
was scandalizin' your name.

Chorus

This Banua jail is cold and damp.
The rats, they cover the floor.
Just ten and three will set me free
and I'll be yours forever more.

Chorus

Banua!
