Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Married to a pulley gal her name was cookie
He tells her to cook to ride and happy
She goes and she cooks he rides them bargie
Bargie the thing that take place the fire
The bargie the thing that take place the water
You get your curry you get your coriander
You get your motsy you get your motswana
To prevent the bargie from rolling over
Well the thing about the bargie it floats on water
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Once there was a pulley man by the name of bangaloo
Married to a pulley gal her name was cookie
He tells her to cook to ride and happy
She goes and she cooks he rides them bargie
Bargie the thing that take place the fire
The bargie the thing that take place the water
You get your curry you get your coriander
You get your motsy you get your motswana
You get two bricks and you put it on the cover
To prevent the barge from rolling over
Well the thing about the bargie it floats on water
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Once there was a pulley man by the name of bangaloo
Married to a pulley gal her name was cookie
He tells her to cook to ride and happy
She goes and she cooks he rides them bargie
Bargie the thing that take place the fire
The bargie the thing that take place the water
You get your curry you get your coriander
You get your motsy you get your motswana
You get two bricks and you put it on the cover
To prevent the barge from rolling over
Well the thing about the bargie it floats on water
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge
The song "Bargie" by Hubert Porter And The Tower Islanders is a catchy Jamaican folk song that tells the story of a pulley man named Bangaloo and his wife, Cookie. Bangaloo instructs his wife to cook while he rides the bargie, which is a type of barge that is used for transporting goods. The bargie plays a key role in the song, as it is mentioned several times and is described as the thing that takes place on both land (fire) and water. To prevent the bargie from rolling over, two bricks are placed on its cover.
The song has a lighthearted and fun tone, with the repetition of the phrase "Barge, barge, barge, barge the barge" and the use of playful and colloquial language, such as "curry," "coriander," "motsy," and "motswana." Overall, the song celebrates the simplicity of life and the joy that can be found in everyday activities such as cooking and riding on a bargie.
