Everytime I listen to this song, I can't help but remember the old woman who used to walk up WIlliam Street Campbellville past our house, with a medium sized 'bread' basket balanced on top of her head, calling out 'Bush fo sell'. And sometimes, if the timing of her passing our house was just right, I would even get to hear her calling out some of the names from this song.

I am very pleased to see that people are listening to and enjoying these songs. They are from my father's youth and he used to sing them to us as we grew up. I recently acquired a tape of these songs and wanted everyone to hear and hopefully appreciate them like I do

Of course they are, they are widely sold at the Bourda and stabroek markets in GT. Up to last week we were drinking capadula and sasparilla

This is a great classic, I remember the weed song as a young fellow growing up in Guyana, but never knew all the words. Thanks for sharing.
