Thirteen-Year-Old Mabel - 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 miserabl

Ah looking small but ah big and ah able»

Don’t worry your head over m

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
