    Down in Demerara"....
    The Demerara River and former colony of Demerara - after which rather than the river the sugar takes its name. Now Demerara ia one of the counties of Guyana, and Demerara can apply to sugar from anywhere in Guyana. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demerara_%28disambiguation%29
