Sparrow Come Back - Mighty Sparrow

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)
