Jean Marabunta

Mighty Sparrow

Jean Marabunta, nobody want her
Jean Marabunta, nobody want her
So she ugly so she stupid
So she stupid so she naked
So she naked so she picky head
I don't know why the dog ain't dead

She only picking pocket to mind sweet man
(That's her occupation)
When she can't get money to thief
You know
(She making short time for so)
Ah lie!
(If Sparrow say so is so)
Ah want every one to know
(If Sparrow say so is so)
Short time in prison for so

In the days of round the Savannah
She would say yes for a banana
She was really suffering badly
Anything you have she will take it gladly
She must be think that I ain't know shе
But I have pictures I could show she
How shе lay down in the Savannah grass
Hiding till police pass

Now
She only picking pocket to mind sweet man
(That's her occupation)
When she can't get money to thief
You know
(She making short time for so)
Ah lie!
(If Sparrow say so is so)
Ah want every one to know
(If Sparrow say so is so)
Short time in prison for so

This disgraceful female
Smell like saltfish tail
The food in she teeth like mortar
She won't bathe she 'fraid water
And every night she begging for rum
From club to club like a real bum
And when she finish drinking all about
She doing anything with she mouth

And
She only picking pocket to mind sweet man
(That's her occupation)
When she can't get money to thief
You know
(She making short time for so)
Ah lie!
(If Sparrow say so is so)
Ah want every one to know
(If Sparrow say so is so)
Short time in prison for so
