Stone Cold Dead in the Market 1939 by Wilmoth Houdini: Trinidad and Tobago musician who moved to New York - made famous by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan

Last night he went out drinking
When he came home he gave me a beating
So I picked up me rolling pin
And went to work on his head till I bashed it in

And now he's stone cold dead in the market
Stone cold dead in the market
Stone cold dead in the market
And I killed nobody but me husband

His family they're looking for to kill me
His family they're looking for to kill me
His family they're promising to kill me
But if I killed him, he had it coming

He is stone cold dead in the market
Stone cold dead in the market
Stone cold dead in the market
And I killed nobody but me husband

I beat him with the pot and the frying pan
I bashed him with the pot and the frying pan
Beat him with the pot and the frying pan
If I killed him, I tried to

He is stone cold dead in the market
Stone cold dead in the market
Stone cold dead in the market
And I killed nobody but me husband

There is one thing that I am sure
He ain't going to beat me no more
And I tell you that I doesn't care
if I shall die in the electric chair

He is stone cold dead in the market
Stone cold dead in the market
Stone cold dead in the market
And I killed nobody but me husband

Another calypso song made famous by jazz musicians:  St Thomas
