Sparrow Come Back |
They use to heckle me, heckle me very, very bad |
Here in Trinidad |
'Til I catch a plane to the USA |
Just to clear out the way |
Everyday the mailman ringing |
Hundreds of letters he bringing |
Before he walk out me hall |
Ah sure to get ah oversea call |
(Sparrow come back home) |
If you hear them groan |
(Sparrow come back home) |
Don’t leave us alone |
(Sparrow come back home) |
Baby tell me what’s the cry |
(Sparrow come back home) |
You never miss the water till the well run dry |
(Sparrow come back home) (x4) |
Ah know ah have my fans to please |
Here in the West Indies |
They buying me records like they mad |
Ah can’t treat these people bad |
But in New York people spending money |
To promote me at Carnegie |
Contract and thing done sign up too |
Ah don’t know what the heck to do |
(Sparrow come back home) |
If you hear them groan |
(Sparrow come back home) |
Don’t leave we alone |
(Sparrow come back home) |
Tell me what’s the cry |
(Sparrow come back home) |
You never miss the water till the well run dry |
(Sparrow come back home) (x4) |
I know no other bacchanal |
Could be as sweet as Carnival |
But meh contract was to work away |
And don’t come back until Ash Wednesday |
But everyday the mailbox pack up |
When this thing goin' stop? |
When ah read they ain’t have no road march yet |
Ah catch the P.N.M. |
jet |
(Sparrow come back home) |
If you hear them groan |
(Sparrow come back home) |
If you hear them moan |
(Sparrow come back home) |
Laddie, tell me what’s the cry |
(Sparrow come back home) |
You never miss the water till the well run dry |
(Sparrow come back home) (x4) |
Well everyday is the same complain |
The postman come back again |
Ah make up me mind to catch the aeroplane |
Back to Port of Spain |
But from Piarco to the City |
They start back heckling me |
A woman say, «Look the hog! |
You did bound to come back, you dirty dog!» |
(Sparrow come back home) |
If you hear them groan |
(Sparrow come back home) |
Madre, tell me what’s the cry |
(Sparrow come back home) |
Don’t doubt me if I lie or die |
(Sparrow come back home) |
You never miss the water till the well run dry |
(Sparrow come back home) (x8) |
