B.G. War - Mighty Sparrow

One more time, that’s more like it

Swing it out, boys

Well they drop a hydrogen bomb in B. G

Lord have mercy

They drop a hydrogen bomb in B. G

Lord have mercy

Riot in town, mama

Ah hear the whole place on fire

From Kitty to the waterfront all that

Burn down flat, flat, flat

I ain’t care if all of B.G.

burn down

I ain’t care if the whole of Bookers burn down

But if they be putting me out meh way

If they tackle Tiger Bay

And burn down the hotel

Where all meh wahbeens does stay

They lock up over a thousand peopl

Well that was trouble

They snd for policemen in the country

To bring unity

But police and all afraid

Stand up and they watching stores get raid

Walk in the store take everything

And when you done set fire to the building

But I ain’t care if the whole of B.G.

burn down

I ain’t care if all of Bookers burn down

But they will be putting me out meh way

If they tackle Tiger Bay

And burn down meh hotel

Where all meh wahbeens does stay

A woman walk in a store on main street

Slippers on she feet

Dirty petticoat, long time straw hat

And she smelling worse than that

But she walk out like a lady

High heels, glasses, jewelry

The straw hat she had on wearing before

She take matches and she burn it inside the store

I ain’t care if the whole of B.G.

burn down

I ain’t care if all of Bookers burn down

But they will be putting me out meh way

If they tackle Tiger Bay

And burn down meh hotel

Where all meh wahbeens does stay

Sweet sax, Basso!

Let’s go, let’s go daddy!

They send for soldiers quite up in England

With big confusion

They bring down warships with cannon like peas

To shoot Guyanese

But Burnham said all right now

I’m the only man to stop this row

He give we the signal and that’s the case

Now we have peace and quiet in the place

But I ain’t care if the whole of B.G.

burn down

I ain’t care if all of Bookers burn down

They’ll be putting me out meh way

Only if they tackle Tiger Bay

And burn down meh hotel

Where all meh wahbeens does stay
