Sparrow Come Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] (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) [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] (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) [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] (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) [Verse 4] 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!" [Chorus] (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)
