I'LL BLOW A TRUMPET FOR YOU, DADDY

I will blow a Trumpet for you,

From New Grant to Claxton Bay

From Manzanilla to Cumuto,

I'll blow one too in Tobago

When I remember your laughter

I will serenade you,

with a wind orchestra,


I'll blow a trumpet for you

When I think about your love

Your warmth,your joy

The way you liked your meat

-Just Plenty

Your perseverance 

And your company

When the guys play the saxophone,

I will serenade you alone

Daddy


I will blow a trumpet for you

When there is fair play

I will blow one too at TCL and  NHA

And every January 29th on this day

I will lift a trumpet

To keep the Blues away

I'll blow a Trumpet for you

Just the way you blew it


Rest in Peace Daddy
