‘Mango walk’ is a grove where the mangos grow, the number eleven mango is the best quality, a big juicy variety.
In the late 1960s I taught in Handsworth, Birmingham where there was a wonderful mix of recent immigrants. Many children in my class had parents who had come from Jamaica, they bought with them their joyous calypso songs that featured regularly on the television and of course in the classroom. This was one I remember well, I have slightly adapted it: Singing Together, Spring 1970, BBC Publications.

My brother did-a tell me that you go mango walk,
You go mango walk, you go mango walk,
My brother did-a tell me that you go mango walk
And steal all the number 'leven.

Now tell me, Joe, do tell me for true,
Do tell me for true, Do tell me for true
That you don't go to no mango walk
And steal all the number 'leven.

My mother Dita tell me that you go mango walk,
You go mango walk, you go mango walk
My mother Dita tell me that you go mango walk
And eat all the number 'leven.

I tell you, Sue, I tell you for true,
I tell you for true, I tell you
That I don't go to no mango walk
And eat all the number 'leven.
