Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Sans humanité

Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Sans humanité

From the brave days of ninety five when I was a teacher and lord adulator
They caused me to two years later second lord and then advocator
Advocator then called me advisor for the advisor now supervise me
Named supervisor of the cause and lord emphasizer
Sans humanité

Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Sans humanité

At my appearance upon the scene Julian come down with blazing sword
And see him shouting an order - calling, screaming to all the agony
And see his magnetizing mantle - see it glinting, gleaming and swaying
Jumping this way bawling clear the way, White Rose, jolie diable ré-ré-o

Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Sans humanité

It was a modern manifestation of that elderly civilization
That in the Carnival celebration of the social organization
Which causes the minds and extension of all the population
I Julian singing a Social recording with White Rose union
Sans humanité

Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Iron Duke in the land, Fire Brigade
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Bring the locomotive just because it's a fire federation
Sans humanité

Iron Duke in the land,
Fire brigade!
Iron Duke in the land,
Fire brigade!
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Sans humanité.

Iron Duke in the land,
Fire brigade!
Iron Duke in the land,
Fire brigade!
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Sans humanité.

From the bright days of ninety-five when I was a Teacher and Lord Adulator,
They called me to, two years later, Second Lord and then Advocator;
Advocator, then called me Advisor, for the Advisor now supervise me;
Named Supervisor of the cause and Lord Emphasiser.
Sans humanité.

Iron Duke in the land,
Fire brigade!
Iron Duke in the land,
Fire brigade!
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Sans humanité.

At my appearance upon the scene, Julian come down with blazing sword.
And see him shouting an order, calling, screaming to all—the agony!
And see his magnetising mantle—see it glinting, gleaming and swaying—
Jumping this way bawling, "Clear the way! Whiterose jolie diable ré-ré-o!"

Iron Duke in the land,
Fire brigade!
Iron Duke in the land,
Fire brigade!
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Sans humanité.

It was a modern manifestation of that elder civilisation
That in the Carnival celebration of the social organisation
Which causes the minds and extension of all the population.
I, Julian, singing a social recording with Whiterose union.
Sans humanité.

Iron Duke in the land;
Fire brigade!
Iron Duke in the land;
Fire brigade!
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Bring a locomotive just because it's a fire federation.
Sans humanité.

Took a music course in college as an elective and learned about this song. I still remember it many years later. I’m glad it’s up here. Thank you for sharing

@brianpobocik4052

Actually this song was recorded in 1914. First vocal calypso ever recorded. Instrument up front I believe is banjo/mandolin hybrid. With backing band. Next time calypsonians are recorded in Trinidad would be mid-30's. Taken from great album on Rounder with two other songs recorded 1912-1914.

@shaun_rambaran

Thanks for the info, Brian!

How did you find that out?

@judah7608

Actually Lovey's String Band were a Trinidadian musical group. They are known primarily for having been the earliest known calypso group to have recorded. They originally formed in 1890s and continued performing until the early 1920s. The first song was recorded 1912 believe it or not this is a fact

@ijustneedmyself

@@judah7608 But their first recordings were instrumental.

@DrMikeOfficial

You know your stuff Brian, nicely done!

@Trintana

I love d tone and melody of Duke and back up singers... could hardly understand what he saying tho! Sounds like robber talk chanted in minor cords!

@SocaPhD

This recording by Julian Whiterose was made in 1914 rather than in 1912.
