Lyrics Royal Jail - The Mighty Sparrow

Criminals beware
All you got to hear
Criminals beware
Monsieur, all you got to hear
This amount of licking down
All over town
Sharing licks from street to street
But they know who to beat

Believe me

I done tell me friends and meh family
Not to worry
Anyone of them interfere with me
Take it easy
Don't worry to beg the jury
Save the lawyer fee
And if you have any mail
Send it to me at the Royal Jail

All around them club
See them begging for bob
When you pass by a strand
They stretching they hand
Give me something dey
You ain't have so you walk away
Next morning you wake up in a ravine
You head burst, you pocket clean

But not me

I done tell meh friends and meh family
Not to worry
Anyone of them interfere with me
Take it easy
Don't worry to beg the jury
Save the lawyer fee
And if you have any mail
Send it to me at the Royal Jail

Well it have one they call Jack Slade
Well he blacker than the Ace of Spade
If you see this long streak of misery
Always molesting everybody
Friend you can't pass through St. James
Unless they cuss you and call you filthy names
But I contact the police already
Now ah waiting like a mapipire

Don't doubt me

I done tell meh friends and meh family
Not to worry
Anyone of them interfere with me
Take it easy
Don't worry to beg the jury
Save the lawyer fee
And if you have any mail
Send it to me at the Royal Jail

Dr. Solomon
Was attacked by another gang
Just imagine the minister of home affairs
He and all have to walk with care
But ah laugh when he give them the score
He say him they take him he taking four
But if they tackle me my friend
They have to multiply four by ten

Don't doubt me

I done tell meh friends and meh family
Not to worry
Anyone of them interfere with me
Take it easy
Don't worry to beg the jury
Save the lawyer fee
And if you have any mail
Send it to me at the Royal Jail
