Drink Problems - Apache Indian

Me a think and wonder but me can’t understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

Me a think and wonder but me can’t understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

Now when me talk this ya no bother worry nor fret

No bother feel say Apache come fe disrespect

But nough mon them a drink and them can’t give a damn

Bout the children that a cry and about them woman

And the money that a pass mon from hand to hand

And the job where them have where them have fe work long

So if you have the answer mon would you tell me

Why them can’t lef the drink till them get sharbee

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

Nough mon them a work till all a 7:30

But no wan rush home wan to see the family

Them wan 2 pint and 2 glassee

Then kar pornch-gair and the wife angry

Ca all day she a cook mon make the subjee

And them him start say roti — nay chythee

Just wan more sharb mon fe me belly

Then you have the same mon go to a Indian wedding

And if there is no sharb then a pure talking

That it is disrespect and it is an insult

To have no whisky just juice and coke

Sare-jarne notch-thai but him only wan talk

Sadar time waste hor-gear ca there is no sharb

And then him talk bout the wedding that him love

But o-pie kenthar said him gone to the pub

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

O whisky nall bacardi them a start drinking

Fai-ken-there gudee mai chlarenee and a start driving

Usee thawnoo thusi-air «O thusee gudee nai chlow»

Uchee bolar kair kenthere «O mai bair shadthow»

Unoo swearair thus yeh fer meri gol mon gair

Rathnoo yar-iae thuva thuv not gair

And me feel so strong when me see what me see

When the drink come bout break up the family

But even so the wifes put up with the drinking

Ca divorce in a we culture is not a popular thing

So respect to the woman fight fe all of we

Ca the family would a split if it wasn’t for she

Me a think and wonder but me can’t understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

Me a think and wonder but me can’t understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

Now me done talk this ya one but don’t get me wrong

Indian mon them is good so please understand

Its only when them start drink them have a next side

Come like when you watch mon Jekle and Hyde

But now the reason of concern why me feel the anga

Ca the kids them a follow but a start younger

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

Me a think and wonder but me can’t understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

Me a think and wonder but me can’t understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man
