Pumpkin has always been a tasty vegetable
One that my mother use to cook for us to eat
And in front of Sandra mothers house
Used to have a big pumpkin patch down in 2nd street

Every time that my mother cooked pumpkin, she would cook it differently,
She would make plain or sometimes with fry saltfish
And it does matter how she makes it that day
Every time it would always be a tasty dish

Pumpkin with some hot sada roti
And a cup of Milo does go down nice
And I remember my grandmother liked to eat pumpkin
With some lime pepper sauce and rice

The pumpkin patch in second Street would just grow by its self
To the side of the street and it would always bear
And whenever anyone wants a pumpkin
We know the patch will always be there

But then the government workers comes to ste Madeleine
To pave the road and to fix the drain
And they had to clean out the whole area
So there was no more pumpkin...
