Dip dem, Bedwud, dip dem
Dip dem in a healin’ stream
Dip dem sweet, but not too deep
Dip dem to cure bad feelin’
Me always go up a’ the August Town
But me never go up a' Mona
One day me was invited by
One old man dem call Jonah
When me go up a'Mona
Me see brother Bedwud stan' up
Him take sister Mary full in han'
And dip her in a healin' stream
Dip dem, Bedwud, dip dem
Dip dem in a healin’ stream
Dip dem sweet, but not too deep
Dip dem to cure bad feelin’
Some bring dem i'john, dem no got no han'
Fe go dip dem ina de healin' stream
Some ride jackass, but dem can get no past
Fe go dip dem ina de healin' stream
Some come from the west like a perfect pest
Fe go dip dem ina de healin' stream
Some come up from the east like a leggo beast
Fe go dip dem ina de healin' stream
Dip dem, Bedwud, dip dem
Dip dem in a healin’ stream
Dip dem sweet, but not too deep
Dip dem to cure bad feelin’
Some come from the north wid dem face full of warts
Fe do dip dem ina de healin' stream
Some come from the south wid dem big yabbamouth
Fe go dip dem ina de healin' stream
Dip dem, Bedwud, dip dem
Dip dem in a healin’ stream
Dip dem sweet, but not too deep
Dip dem to cure bad feelin’
Dip dem in a healin’ stream
Dip dem sweet, but not too deep
Dip dem to cure bad feelin’
Me always go up a’ the August Town
But me never go up a' Mona
One day me was invited by
One old man dem call Jonah
When me go up a'Mona
Me see brother Bedwud stan' up
Him take sister Mary full in han'
And dip her in a healin' stream
Dip dem, Bedwud, dip dem
Dip dem in a healin’ stream
Dip dem sweet, but not too deep
Dip dem to cure bad feelin’
