Country Girl

Well a country girl came to town
Looking young and strong
And all the boys in the area
Got their eyes on her
Taxi drivers especially
They won't leave the young lady
Dick Tom and Harry and his brother
Everybody want to drive she in they taxi

She say me Mama tell me don't drive with strangers
In their motor car
And although you look like a decent stranger
You might go too far

Well when I get the news I went mad
Ah say well this girl can't be so hard
After all I am the King Sparrow
And that ain't no puppet show
So I started trying me luck
Just to see if this wouldn't work
All ah try ah cannot get a lead
The girl is as hard as a gru gru seed

She say me Mama tell me don't drive with strangers
In their motor car
And although you look like a decent stranger
You might go too far

Well ah vex now until ah blue
Ah studying all kind of thing to do
I've got to succeed some how
Before people say Sparrow ain't in bou-dow
See me now on me knees
Begging her "Darling please
Ah never see that since ah born!"
She watch me in me face and start to yawn

She say me Mama tell me don't drive with strangers
In their motor car
And although you look like a decent stranger
You might drive too far

There and then ah felt like a fool
Because the girl playing me so cool
I decide to try a trick,
Last one in the book, otherwise ah stick
So ah pass round with me guitar
Sing two Calypso for she mother
And then I ask the mother for she
If you see how she swell up she face at me

Man, I thought I tell you don't drive with strangers
In their motor car
Mother say, girl Sparrow is a decent stranger
Believe me he won't go too far
