Wahbeen and Grog - Mighty Sparrow

One more time!

Swing it out boys!

Something on your mind I want to know

Darling, why you behaving so

Something on your mind I want to know

Sparrow, why you behaving so

You getting restless

And you sleepless

Tossing and turning in the bed

Like if you going out your head

Way I tell she:

Darling ah can’t remain in New York again

Ah got to go back for J’Ouvert, darling

Pick me up on Ash Wednesday morning

Charlotte Street where all good folks meet

Wahbeen and grog and pan beating fine

All that weigh on meh mind

You living on Park Avenue

Ah giving every thing to you

Money and clothes and everything

You should be happy like a king

Man, you is a big shot

Ain’t nothing you ain’t got

Now kiss me darling hold me hand

Your wish is my command

But I tll she:

Darling ah can’t remain in New York again

Ah got to go back for J’Ouvrt darling

Pick me up on Ash Wednesday morning

Charlotte Street where the boys does meet

Wahbeen and grog and pan beating fine

All that weigh on meh mind

Carnival near I want to go back

But I have too many contract

Thousands of people in Carnegie

Right now waiting on me

Ah got to be there

Why in France I am here

I should be drinking with Lance and Leon

And Joe Bell in Janet gang

Darling ah can’t remain in New York again

Ah got to go back for J’Ouvert darling

Pick me up on Ash Wednesday morning

Charlotte Street where the boys does meet

Wahbeen and grog and pan beating fine

All that weigh on meh mind

From Arima, Sangre Grande, Mayaro, Talparo

Diego Martin to Los Iros

Tunapuna straight to Carenage

Brother so much wahbeen at large

Ah got to get them

Can’t resist them

The only cure for Carnival fever:

I got to leave America

Let me tell you:

Darling ah can’t remain in New York again

Ah got to go back for J’Ouvert darling

Pick me up on Ash Wednesday morning

Charlotte Street where all the boys meet

Wahbeen and grog and pan beating fine

All that weigh on meh mind
