lirik lagu mighty sparrow - yankee's back
[verse 1]
well, the days of slavery back again
ah hope it ain’t reaching port of spain
slavery coming back again
ah hope it ain’t reaching port of spain
since the yankees come back over here
they buy out the whole of pointe~à~pierre
money start to pass, people start to bawl
pointe~à~pierre sell the workmen and all
[chorus 1]
fifty cents a head for grenadians
a dollar for born trinidadians
tobagonians free, whether big or small
but they say, they ain’t want barbadians at all
[verse 2]
well, it look as if they going mad
to sell the refinery in trinidad
ah hear they tackle the pitch lake
but ah keeping cool for heaven’s sake
next time they will buy ste. madeleine cane
then it’s easy to capture port of spain
but when they buy trinidad and you think they stop
they taking tobago as a lagniappe
[chorus 2]
that is why they buying grenadians
to work in the sugar plantation
tea~break for some dinner, fifty cent a head
man they go work meh grandfather until he dead
[verse 3]
yeah, ah watching meh girlfriend lillian
she have a funny intention
bunching with olga and doris
who intend to start this stupidness
but if they think the yankees making joke
this time, ain’t no fun; it’s strictly work
not because they come back in barrage
remember the sparrow still in charge
[chorus 3]
if they think they taking lillian
they looking for big confusion
take meh house, meh land and i wouldn’t groan
but leave lily alone!
