Song: Brown girl in the ring by Boney M.

Brown Girl in the Ring is a traditional children's song in the islands of the West Indies. It is said to have originated in Jamaica [1] as part of the children's game, also known as "Brown Girl in the Ring." The song's lyrics instruct the game's performance: a girl enters the ring, formed by children holding hands, and performs a dance.

The song became internationally known when it was recorded by the Euro-Caribbean vocal group Boney M. in 1978.

Singer: Liz Mitchell




Lyrics:

Brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la

There's a brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la la

Brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la

She looks like a sugar in a plum

Plum plum


Show me your motion

Tra la la la la

Come on show me your motion

Tra la la la la la

Show me your motion

Tra la la la la

She looks like a sugar in a plum

Plum plum


All had water run dry

Got no way to wash my clothes

All had water run dry

Got no way to wash my clothes


I remember one Saturday night

We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes

I remember one Saturday night

We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes


Beng-a-deng

Beng-a-deng


Brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la

There's a brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la la

Brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la

She looks like a sugar in a plum

Plum plum


Show me your motion

Tra la la la la

Come on show me your motion

Tra la la la la la

Show me your motion

Tra la la la la

She looks like a sugar in a plum

Plum plum


All had water run dry

Got no way to wash my clothes

All had water run dry

Got no way to wash my clothes


I remember one Saturday night

We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes

I remember one Saturday night

We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes


Beng-a-deng

Beng-a-deng


Brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la

See, brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la la

Brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la

She looks like a sugar in a plum

Plum plum


All had water run dry

Got no way to wash my clothes

All had water run dry

Got no way to wash my clothes


Brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la

Look that brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la la

Brown girl in the ring

Tra la la la la

She looks like a sugar in a plum

Plum plum
