Sparrow Come Back Songtext
von Mighty Sparrow

They use to heckle me, heckle me very very bad
Here in Trinidad
Till a catch a plane to the U.S.A.
Just to clear out o′ the way
Every day 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
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)
(Sparrow come back home)
(Sparrow come back home)
(Sparrow come back home)


Ah know ah have my fans to please
Here in the West Indies
They buy my 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
Wait, tell me what′s the cry
(Sparrow come back home)
You never miss the water till the well run dry
(Sparrow come back home)
(Sparrow come back home)
(Sparrow come back home)
(Sparrow come back home)

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 every day the mail box pack up
When this thing go stop
When ah read they ain′t have no road march yet
Ah catch the P.N.M. jet.


And then I'll come back home
If you hear them groan
(Sparrow come back home)
Don′t leave us alone
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)
(Sparrow come back home)
(Sparrow come back home)
(Sparrow come back home)

Well every day is the same complain
The postman come back again
Ah make up meh mind to catch the aeroplane
Back to Port of Spain
But from Piarco to the City
They start back heckling me
Ah woman say "look the hog
You did bound to come back, you dog!"

(Sparrow come back home)
If you hear them groan
(Sparrow come back home)
Don′t leave we alone
Yeah 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)
(Sparrow come back home)
(Sparrow come back home)
(Sparrow come back home)
