AUNTIE AUNTIE
My auntie , you haven't given any upbringing
To your daughter
She pulls at my soul to drive me nuts
With such a cast of mind.
Chorus:
Auntie, auntie, good auntie,
I was so glad to see you,
So glad to see you my auntie,
Give me the young lady.
My auntie I'll be obliged to you,
Please do as I tell you,
I want your daughter, and me,
United in one flesh.
Chorus: Auntie, auntie
My auntie I'll be obliged to you,
Yes, my auntie I say the truth
Give your little daughter to me
The one with the white bosom
Chorus: Auntie, auntie
