- I spent years trying to find this song because I didn't know who the artist was. Well, with help from my Bajan friend Natasha I found it. Lorraine by Explainer. The lyrics are below. I purchased the mp3 on Amazon for .99 cents. Please go out and do the same! Here's the link.

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Taxi, Taxi
Airport Kennedy
[Verse 1]
Lorraine, you better wake up
Ah need ah jet plane to take me non-stop
Ah cyah stay in New York City
When there is sunshine and pan in my country
Lions is de place with de jammin'
With Kaly-Ann and Charlie's Roots clashin'
Everyone happy partyin'
And I'm freezin' in Brooklin, Darlin'
[Chorus]
Lorraine doh cry ah leavin
Ah cyah miss dis jammin
With all dem steel band beatin
And woman background shakin
If de bug bite yuh baby
Then you could come and join me
Inside Catelli steelband
Jammin wit some man woman
[Verse 2]
Lorraine, girl take it easy
I don't mean to hurt you baby
The coldness makin me shiver
And back home, it hot like fire
That is why I say de next jet plane
Must take me to Port-of-Spain
Where all my fans are waiting
Preparing for J'Ouvert Morning, Darlin'
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Babe, my mind is made up
Airport Kennedy will be my next stop
Doh cry and try to convince me
Because meh suitcase done pack already
And if you start feelin lonely
And mas fever vibrating yuh body
Just make ah quick reservation
And touch down in de land of steelband, woman
[Chorus]
[break]
Doh cry homey
Yuh go see meh Ash Wednesday
[Chorus] (repeat til end) - เพลง
Today is a sad day. RIP Winston "Explainer" Henry! We will be forever grateful for the sunshine you brought to our lives.
The Great Explainer is gone but the world will forever have Lorraine
This song hits differently in February in New York. RIP
this song is a masterpiece, it makes me feel so sad and happy at the same time
One of the tunes that elicit the true sentiment of a Trinidadian living in the cold countries.
This is the kind of music that will stand the test of time and space.
Iv seen 90 year old West Indians wheel chair bound for life. Soon as soca comes on they can not only walk but dance! Gods music right here. Soca is the medicine of life.
This is why I love Trinidad & Tobago so much , you can't find music like this anywere else in the world ....I'm a trini at birth and i'll forever remain a trini ...
R.I.P. Explainer 🕯🙏 Lorraine will ensure that eventhough your bags are packed and you are heading to the airport jamming with someone woman you will never be forgotten. End of an era! Classic authentic soca. Gone but will never be forgotten 😞
May you rest in peace Sir, these songs are timeless for the Caribbean and beyond
This is, and always will be, my No 1 fave soca track. I could cry when I hear this - and I'm an English guy from Surrey! But it puts the best kind of shivers up my spine. Perfect composition, and so happy to have heard Explainer sing it live at the ABC London Calypso Tent a few years back.
I agree. lives in canadad
Stephen Spark I hear you fam... ❤️
Thank you all for listening and commenting!
😢....song for all longing for Caribbean...island home sweet home. No place like it. 🏡
I am Grenadian and this is also my favorite soca song. Listening this song gives me goose bumps and sets me in a festive mood everytime.
Luv it bad!
Timeless still jamming in 2022. REST IN PEACE Brother ):
2020 who still listens dis song 🥰
Tasha Jones that song will always be playing to remind us we got to go home to the Caribbean, labor day in Brooklyn was our pilgrimage but them youths spoiled it for us elders
Meeeee, one of my favorite songs
Me, December 31, 2020 in Barbados...
Listening in 2021
You don't know the struggles of the west Indian community, go listen to your one hit wonders
This song evokes so many memories from back home in Trinidad and Tobago. And. It is also fitting to being here in the cold in Canada.
R.I.P. thanks for your contribution to the music 🎵🎶 fraternity
Angels came and took you to meet your grand master and all your kin that went before you we will miss you with all of our love ,thank you for leaving Lorraine with us. .RIP.
I've loved this song from when it came it out in the 80s. My dad's friend saw me singing and whining to this song and all he could do was shake his head.
I love how he tells his woman stop crying he's leavin...he cyan miss de jammin'
I wish I could tell someone the same thing,,,cuz I'm freezin here in Toronto...Need a soca jam.
The days when songs were 7 minutes--three or four verses, three or four choruses , similar amount of band choruses, an intro and outro and choruses repeated several times at the end---MUSIC !!!!!!!-----SWEET !!!!!----LOVING IT !!!! in 2013
I'm from Port of Spain, Trinidad. Sweet song bringing back memories.
This song brings tears to my eyes. As ah Trinbagoian, ah love it....

R.I.P to dear good soul of calipso i love this music cause my dad's name was mentioned Lauren Lewis ❤️
U r truly going to be missed for ur music especially “ LORRAINE”. I LOVE U - EXPLAINER
Wow, what a shocker to find this! Going back almost 40 years now, an old friend of mine went and spent part of the Summer in Antigua, staying with his brother. He heard this song a few times on the radio, never quite sure which island it was being broadcast from. Couldn't find it in any of the record stores down there either. One time he managed to catch the last couple of verses on tape (who else remembers recording songs off the radio?!? lol) and the DJ even mentioned the song title and artist at the end. That time it was just a guy's name, so I'm guessing it wasn't the same artist. I also seem to remember it not sounding as 'tinny', but it's been so long I could well not be remembering it accurately anymore. Anyway, I remember my friend playing it over and over, along with some other music he'd picked up while down there. Of all the long lost songs I've managed to look up online in recent years, this one may well be the last and biggest mystery!
lived in usvi back in 80's, Love City, my neighbors from Dominica intruduced me to this piece of pure love. made me weep with joy then, and still so today
Reminds me of my dad who played this every Sunday without fail. He is now back in the Caribbean where he is home. Although I do miss him very much. Thanks for posting :-)
I was so sorry to hear of Explainer's passing. May he rest in peace. Because I live in Brooklyn and partied at many Caribbean clubs at that time, so many people thought the song was about me. No, unfortunately, I never got to meet Explainer.
oh GOD I looooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee dis song brings back so many child hood memories......from GRENADA
RIP Legend!
Bajan D here , this bring bck memories, o hey in Bklyn crying few muh muddah
Ones of my old time favs, my dad always played it cus I loved it back then. Makes me remember my childhood in Maloney... Miss these days
I spent many a cold winter evening listening to this song and longing to be on a beautiful beach in the Carribean.
Love, love this song. Reminds me of childhood days. I now live in Seattle WA
Great stuff,back in time,big people tune!
Love this song with all my heart! My favorite...takes me back to my N.Y.C. childhood...my sister had the DJ dedicate a song to me at her reception and when this came on I almost lost it..all my Trini family crowded the dance floor. Memories...
Execptional lyrics and melody. Truely legendary. R.I.P. I always admired his talent and content.
