Mighty Sparrow Country Girl
[Verse 1]
Well a country girl come to town, looking young and strong
And all the boys in the area clapped their eyes on her
Taxi drivers especially, they won't leave the young lady
Dick, Tom, and Harry, and his brother everybody
Want to drive her in their taxi
[Chorus]
She say, "Me Mama tell me don't drive with strangers in their motor car
And although you look like a decent stranger you might go too far"
[Verse 2]
Well when I get the news I went mad
I say well this girl can't be so hard
After all I am the King Sparrow and that ain't no puppet show
So I started trying me luck just to see if this would work
All I try I cannot get a lead
The girl is as hard as a gru gru seed
[Chorus]
She say, "Me Mama tell me don't drive with strangers in their motor car
And although you look like a decent stranger you might go too far"
[Verse 3]
Well I vex now till I blue
I studying all kind of thing to do. I've got to succeed some how
Before people say Sparrow ain't [?]
See me now on me knees, begging her darling please
I never see that since I born
She watch me in me face and she start to yawn
[Chorus]
"Me Mama tell me don't drive with strangers in their motor car
Although you look like a decent stranger you might drive too far"
[Verse 4]
There and then I felt like a fool
Because the girl playing me so cool
I decided to use the trick, last one in the book, otherwise I stick
So I pass round with me guitar sing two Calypso for the mother
And then I ask the mother for she
If you see how she swell up she face at me
[Chorus]
"Ma, I thought you tell me don't drive with strangers in their motor car"
The mother said, "Girl, Sparrow's a decent stranger he wouldn't go too far"
Oooh-oh-oh
