Lyrics Mother Pepper - Desmond Dekker, The Aces

Mother Pepper

Mother Pepper
Why, why, why, why Mother Pepper?
x2
Haul up you mouth and give me pass, Mother Pepper.
x2
Mother Pepper x2
Just stand and look at your mouth, it big as the Gulf of
Mexico
And if some one say red, see ya Jah
Ooh, you deh right den
Like when dem say «fire under moos-moos tail and him
Think of cold breeze.»
Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper
Haul up you mouth and give me pass, Mother Pepper
Mother Pepper x2
Gal what make you so hot
And your foot dry like fe rat bat
You hot like fire breaking a dish
And your neck favor cutlass fish
How could you say its a sham, and you mouth gettin caught
In a jam
Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper…
