lirik lagu mighty sparrow - parables
long ago, boy, when i was young
and anything at all go wrong
i used to run to mih grandmother
for she to help me but oh, brother!
when she talk is only parable
when she done, i in more trouble
i know is good advice she giving
but what the devil she saying?
an ounce of prevention better than a whole pound of cure, doodoo
(never trouble trouble until trouble trouble you)
you scratch my back before yours get scratch
(when you drinking gasoline, doh eat match)
what sweet in goat mouth go sour in he pants
(egg have no right in rock stone dancе)
exchange no robbery, any port for a storm
(can’t clean ground for monkеy run on)
i really thought she was madwoman
because i really couldn’t understand
all these parables she using
to me it was too confusing
you young, you quick to fall in love
and always have problem to solve
i think i getting help from she
but she telling me nancy story
lalin kouwi jou pawe
(one day, one day, congotay)
who have coco in sun always looking for rain
(he who have cocobay doh ‘fraid yaws again)
wise man will never practice what you hear him preach
(so doh hang your hat where you hand can’t reach)
love soon get cold when it run hot like… caca
(married man he wait for her to sting obeah)
that’s the one i like!
boy, oh boy, she was a real good sport
the real amusing sort
she could fix any problem, i’m sure
she had a plaster for every sore
when you live in glass house don’t pelt stone
the window you break might be your own
who bring you news go carry back on you
everything she tell me is true
show me a thief, i will show you a liar
(birds of a feather flock together)
knowledge is power, wisdom is force
(zeal without knowledge is a runaway horse)
fool could make money but is wise man to spend it
(n0body could teach an old dog new trick)
one hand can’t clap, once bitten twice shy
(and you never miss the water ’til the well run dry)
tell me granny!
yeh dat sweet
