Songtexte Duncan - The Mighty Sparrow

Duncan the saga man
Make a young girl upset he plan
Duncan the saga man
Make a young girl upset he plan
He thought he was movin' cool
He thought she was just a little fool
He get mamaguy
When she corner Duncan, he can't reply
Yes, she asks him...

"I wonder why when meh mama there you don't kiss me
I wonder why when meh mama there you're so shy
I wonder why when meh mama there you're so sneaky
Playing quiet and only making sweet eye
Don't think that you're breakin' meh heart
Mama know everything from the start
The ring done buy so is useless you playing smart!"

She mama was in the place
If you see Duncan hide he face
In between all the questioning
Only trembling would say a thing
Fifteen years and feeling great
Duncan is 'bout sixty-eight
When she asked him why
Duncan kneel down and start to cry
If you see him...

"I wonder why when meh mama there you don't kiss me
I wonder why when meh mama there you're so shy
I wonder why when meh mama there you're so sneaky
Playing quiet and only making sweet eye
Don't think that you're breakin' meh heart
Mama know everything from the start
The ring done buy so is useless you playing smart!"

The old queen start turning beast
Only threatening to call police
Bawling, "Married, and make meh will
Otherwise somebody get killed!"
Duncan start to plead with she
Bawling, "Have some sympathy!
The child is insane!"
But the girl start to question Duncan again
If you hear she...

"I wonder why when meh mama there you don't kiss me
I wonder why when meh mama there you're so shy
I wonder why when meh mama there you're so sneaky
Playing quiet and only making sweet eye
Don't think that you're breakin' meh heart
Mammy know everything from the start
The ring done buy so is useless you playing smart!"

Don't try to bramble me
Once you kiss you have to marry she
You owe her house, land, and property
And you ain't got no family
Some in-law you can't escape
Otherwise the charge is rape
Don't be reluctant
When you married you could do she all way you want
Neighbour Duncan...

"I wonder why when meh mama there you don't kiss me
I wonder why when meh mama there you're so shy
I wonder why when meh mama there you're so sneaky
Playing quiet and only making sweet eye
Don't think that you're breakin' meh heart
Mama know everything from the start
The ring done buy so is useless you playing smart!"
