Trina [C] wears her long [G] palm beads, [Em] she fills her [D] drawing book with lime
[G] Sewing lace [C] on [D] widow's [Em] wreaths, and _ filigree [D] on leaf and [C] vine
Vine and [G] leaf of _ filigree, [C] and her [G] [C#] coat's a _ [A] secondhand [D] one
And with [C] antique _ [G]

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ And _ [D] _
_ she [C] sits you [G] down to eat, she always [D] makes you welcome in
Cats and [C] babies round her [G] feet
And all are [D] fat
And none are [C] thin
None [G] are [Em] thin and all are [G] fat
[C] She may [G] bake [C#] some brownies [A] [D] today
_ Saying you [C] are welcome _
[G] She is [D] another Kenyan lady
Do [Am] do do do do [G] do do do

The [C] strayer, [G] soaking school

[Em] [C] halls
Empty [Em] halls and [G] beveled [C] mirrors
[G] Sailing seas [B] and climbing _ [A] [D] banyans
Come out [C] for a thing [G] sitting near
To be a lady [D]

Do do [C] do do do do [G] do do

_ Trina _ _ _ _ [C] takes her plinks [G] and her threads

[G] And she gathers [D] flowers for her [Em] [C] home
For [G] her [Em] home she gathers _ _ [C] flowers
And [G] the [B] strayer, dear companion
