"High brown" (or "brown skin" as he sings in the later version) is a reference to skin colour, although don't try and equate it with US racial identify as racial identity in the Caribbean works very differently than the binary way it is perceived in the US. Also it is "calf" not "craf". Tamboo Bamboo is an instrument, basically a stick of bamboo (there a tamboo bamboo bands, but tamboo bamboo is not a band).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-77632241460602555342017-03-19T15:42:45.080-04:002017-03-19T15:42:45.080-04:00Thanks for the comments, Mr. Shep.
