Lyrics Thirteen-Year-Old Mabel - The Mighty Sparrow

Thirteen year old Mabel
She looking for trouble
Thirteen year old Mabel
She looking for trouble
Every night she going out for walk
And she poor grandmother home can't talk
And if you tell she no she start to frown
Ready to cuss upsided down

Don't worry your head over me
Study for yourself not for me
Because ah young and ah strong
I ain't 'fraid no man in town
So don't worry your head over me
Oh no
Don't worry your head over me

Many times ah listening
Everything they saying
Granny tell granddaughter
"Girl, you must have behaviour
Walking 'bout at night ain't good at all
Thirteen years of age, girl you too small"
"Granny you too damn miserable
Ah looking small but ah big and ah able"

Don't worry your head over me
Study for yourself not for me, granny
Because ah young and ah strong
I ain't 'fraid no man in town
So don't worry your head over me
Oh no
Don't worry your head over me

Grandmother was furious
But Sparrow was curious
While grandmother talking
This time Sparrow attacking
At length and at last ah bust the tape
Good Lord she could not escape
Shortly after well she got a sign
So she start to say the prize is mine

Don't worry your head over me
Study for yourself not for me
Because we both had the fun
When we finish we jump up and run
So don't worry your head over me
Oh no
Don't worry your head over me
