Lyrics Getting Divorce - Yellowman, Fathead

Getting Divorce

Boy Fathead I can’t take it no longer
I just can’t take it no longer.
Seen?
Boy she a ruined mi life bwoy…
I’m getting divorced in the evening
Buff-baff Susan get a lot of beating.
Why?
Me give her plenty money
To look a for mi yellow baby
So take me to the family court on time!
But listen man!
Me dress up ina jacket, me dress up ina tie
As me reaching court the girl a tell lie
The judge seh: I know you never loved that gal
Then tell me your honour why she married I and I?
Put her in the kitchen to fry some chicken
Put her in the kitchen to boil some rice
When me see what she do me bawl Jesus Christ!
She burned-out the chicken and?
The rice!
I’m getting divorced in the evening
Buff-baff Susan get a lot of beating
Me give her plenty money
To look a for the yellow baby
So take me to the family court on time!
But listen man!
Me one Susan she have plenty man
She have 3 a them wey live a Portland
Seh one Anna man, one a them a Byron
And one a them a soldier ina Hope Park camp
Me pack up me thing and go thru the door
Me wave my hand and seh: Good bye Susan!
Seh as me reach the gate I hear she sing one song:
Come back darling!
Give me another try!
Why I!
And me will satisfy!
You know…
I’m getting divorced in the evening
Buff-baff Susan get a lot of beating.
Tell me why?
Me give her plenty money
To buy feed and also nappy
As night come she gone let the yellow baby!
But listen man!
Me love Susan 'til me go a obeah-man
Me love Susan 'til me go a obeah-man
The obeah-man seh: I beg you stretch out you hand
Me stretch out mi hand and then he read my palm
He open the Bible and read one psalm
Him seh: Yellowman I gwaan tell you wey they gwaan
Fathead and fi you woman them just gone!
Me no want!
Me no want!
Where Fathead ya man left!
Me no want!
Me no want!
Where Fathead ya man left!
Why?
Fathead?
Fathead?
