Lyrics Sailor Man (Original Version) - The Mighty Sparrow

Since ah married Dorothy
She have me going crazy
Since ah married Dorothy
She have me going crazy
Well is butt like fire
Ah can't take it no longer
No no no, ah can't stand the pressure
Like she want me to commit murder

She have a sailor man
And she have a Chinee man
Then she leave the Chinee man
For a black, old, ugly policeman

Every day is a complaint
She want to burn down Port of Spain
And if ah raise meh hand at all
You surprise to hear how she will bawl
It's the same behaviour
Mama yo, butt like fire
Ah can't take it no longer
You know ah nearly dead with tabanca

She have a sailor man
And she have a Chinee man
She left the Chinee man
For a big old ugly steelband man

After working very hard
Coming home to rest, ah feeling bad
But what ah see out meh window
Is a sailor cap and merino
So then ah ask Dorothy
If she joining the navy
Big fight, we end up in the station
In front of she hog-face policeman

She had a sailor man
And she left the policeman
She let go she steelband man
Come running back to this calypso man
