The essence of vintage kaiso. This is definitely a cut above! I remember listening to it in the 70's when I was just a young boy growing up on Antigua....never forgot it. Have been listening non stop since finding it here. Thanks for sharing.
Classic Chalkdust ...I think this was from his first album ..My father was a big Chalkdust fan and played this songs non stop.. I think his "Stay Up" album came after this. Thanks for the up load

Ah 'FRAID KARL By Mighty Chalkdust Like my friends and them don't like me, they want police hold Chalkie For the things they want me sing 'bout, this government go jail my snout They want me to sing and say, "Move the La Bas from the highway And have the whole stench installed right inside the heart of Whitehall." But not me, ah 'fraid Karl, ah 'fraid Karl, I 'fraid he jail me like he jail Rex Lasalle...uhmm They want me sing 'bout when Badase died Kamal Mohammed break down and cry But ah 'fraid, not me, [ah 'fraid] They say a young minister was found in a hotel with a call-girl in town But I ain't singing 'bout that, ah 'fraid the Sedition Act. Like my friends, them ain't consider what happen to Weekes and Granger Is when they jail my backside that they go be satisfied But I smarter than all of them, the government I won't offend I really can't make a jail, the cocoa and split peas will kill my tail You see why ah 'fraid Karl, ah 'fraid Karl I talking 'bout the new baron of Maraval... uhmm They say PNM was nearly wrecked by the secretary and his rubber cheque But ah 'fraid, I don't know, [ah 'fraid] They say by Salvatori building, Karl tell George Weekes how he mother make him But I know nothing 'bout that, ah 'fraid the Sedition Act. Like my friends, them don't understand why I really 'fraid that man You see Bernard and Ernest Pierre, when Karl talk they have to hear Government have no money, they say, for last year's public servants' backpay No big thing, Karl got on the phone and ordered Kamal to give them a loan That's why ah 'fraid Karl, ah 'fraid Karl 'Cause he eating like curry barb wire and dahl...uhmm In the trial Bruce Procope did so well That he leave he home and living Hilton Hotel But I 'fraid, [ah 'fraid] They say Danjuma, who tried our soldiers here Still owe Hilton two thousand dollars for beer But I keeping out of that, ah 'fraid the Sedition Act. Like my friends, dem want to retreat but pushing me in the heat They say them big boys was small, now they walking ten feet tall Two used to live just like rats, now all over more Belmont they building flats Another used to sell coconut, now he buy out the whole Queen Street lot Doh ask me, ah 'fraid Karl, ah 'fraid Karl The Better Village dress designer from Maraval...uhmm They say Burroughs is an ace crime fighter but also a damn good weed pusher But ah 'fraid, [ah 'fraid] They say government pass the Divorce Bill so that Eric could get his own at will But I keeping out of that, ah 'fraid the Sedition Act.

This is the song that made us take Chalkie seriously as a caisonian.
Memories of a revolution...hmmmm

Georgie ..Lol who needed 2 Blonds in USA also..lol oh Gadddoooo...
Wow this song is almost as old as Gabe Carrier pass it on! XD
Ah 'FRAID KARL
By Mighty Chalkdust
Like my friends and them don't like me, they want police hold Chalkie
For the things they want me sing 'bout, this government go jail my snout
They want me to sing and say, "Move the La Bas from the highway
And have the whole stench installed right inside the heart of Whitehall."
But not me, ah 'fraid Karl, ah 'fraid Karl,
I 'fraid he jail me like he jail Rex Lasalle...uhmm
They want me sing 'bout when Badase died
Kamal Mohammed break down and cry
But ah 'fraid, not me, [ah 'fraid]
They say a young minister was found in a hotel with a call-girl in town
But I ain't singing 'bout that, ah 'fraid the Sedition Act.
Like my friends, them ain't consider what happen to Weekes and Granger
Is when they jail my backside that they go be satisfied
But I smarter than all of them, the government I won't offend
I really can't make a jail, the cocoa and split peas will kill my tail
You see why ah 'fraid Karl, ah 'fraid Karl
I talking 'bout the new baron of Maraval... uhmm
They say PNM was nearly wrecked by the secretary and his rubber cheque
But ah 'fraid, I don't know, [ah 'fraid]
They say by Salvatori building,
Karl tell George Weekes how he mother make him
But I know nothing 'bout that, ah 'fraid the Sedition Act.
Like my friends, them don't understand why I really 'fraid that man
You see Bernard and Ernest Pierre, when Karl talk they have to hear
Government have no money, they say, for last year's public servants' backpay
No big thing, Karl got on the phone and ordered Kamal to give them a loan
That's why ah 'fraid Karl, ah 'fraid Karl
'Cause he eating like curry barb wire and dahl...uhmm
In the trial Bruce Procope did so well
That he leave he home and living Hilton Hotel
But I 'fraid, [ah 'fraid]
They say Danjuma, who tried our soldiers here
Still owe Hilton two thousand dollars for beer
But I keeping out of that, ah 'fraid the Sedition Act.
Like my friends, dem want to retreat but pushing me in the heat
They say them big boys was small, now they walking ten feet tall
Two used to live just like rats, now all over more Belmont they building flats
Another used to sell coconut, now he buy out the whole Queen Street lot
Doh ask me, ah 'fraid Karl, ah 'fraid Karl
The Better Village dress designer from Maraval...uhmm
They say Burroughs is an ace crime fighter but also a damn good weed pusher
But ah 'fraid, [ah 'fraid]
They say government pass the Divorce Bill so that Eric could get his own at will
But I keeping out of that, ah 'fraid the Sedition Act.
