Long ago in Tobago
There was a boy named Winston
He was black like ah shadow
And ah genius musician

With just ah box and ah string
He create he own playing ting
Wid dese melodies inside he mind
He was bound to be ah king in time

  All he life
  He coming good
  Never get de credit
  dat he should
  Like he was invisible
  but he didn't feel bad
  To be in de Shadow
  of Toba-nidad
  Ahh la doe
  Do de Shadow   (bass solo)

He was not a bad boy
He just couldn't help it
There was a man playing in he head
Urging him to write it
Like he had a fever
That no medicine coulda cure
Wen dey tink he gone thru
He come hotter than before, But

   All he life
  He coming good
  Never get de credit
  dat he should
  Like he was invisible
  but he didn't feel bad
  To be in de Shadow
  of Toba-nidad

Well I am just a man

Mr. Bailey isa great man

And meh heart geh ah spark

Wen he win 2000 Monarch

Just like meh partner Rubadiri say

Shadow is de king any day

De people choice time and time again

Would allyuh join meh in meh refrain?

  All he life
  He coming good
  Never get de credit
  dat he should
  Like he was invisible
  but he didn't feel bad
  To be in de Shadow
  of Toba-nidad

  of Toba-nidad

  All he life
  He coming good
  Never get de credit
