Vincent Morrison, Mandeville.

Once a king had three daughters and the king die and some young fellows go up to the fence, but as they come they run them. The fellows meet Brar Nansi one day and they said to Anansi, “I bet you never go to that house!” Mr. Anansi said, “I bet you I go up there!”

Anansi went an’ got some horse-mane and get a cotton-tree spar an’ dig out a fiddle. An’ he come out de road de evening, an’ he start to play de fiddle say,

“Tom body tom ting,

Tweety tweety tweety tweety tweety twee

Linga linga loo

Nobody never go deh yet,

Linga linga ling

Anansi go deh t’-night

A go linga linga ling.”
