Cashew Tree / Stone River

I climbed a cashew tree
Just to see my love pass by
I climbed a cashew tree
And this cashew I'm gonna suck

A, a, a, a this cashew I'm gonna suck
O, o, o, o and the nut I'll give to my love
A, a, a, a, this cashew I'm gonna suck
O, o, o and the nut I'll give to my love

When I walked in the stone river
Selling fish at the market
I raised the kids
Eating fish, everyone got strong
I was very lucky with my beloved wife
One day my wife went fishing
But in the stone river, there were rocks to deal with
She was afraid to put her hand in the hole
And I would say: 'sweetheart, that's where the fish are'
Among the rocks, there are no snakes, only fish
If you want to catch any, you have to do as I say:
'Open the rocks, my love'
'That's where the fish hide when they see the fisherman'
'Open the rocks, my love'
'That's where the fish hide when they see the fisherman'
