Sparrow Come Back

[Verse 1]
They use to heckle me, heckle me very, very bad
Here in Trinidad
'Til I catch a plane to the USA
Just to clear out the way
Everyday the mailman ringing
Hundreds of letters he bringing
Before he walk out me hall
Ah sure to get ah oversea call

[Chorus]
(Sparrow come back home)
If you hear them groan
(Sparrow come back home)
Don't leave us alone
(Sparrow come back home)
Baby tell me what's the cry
(Sparrow come back home)
You never miss the water till the well run dry
(Sparrow come back home) (x4)

[Verse 2]
Ah know ah have my fans to please
Here in the West Indies
They buying me records like they mad
Ah can't treat these people bad
But in New York people spending money
To promote me at Carnegie
Contract and thing done sign up too
Ah don't know what the heck to do

[Chorus]
(Sparrow come back home)
If you hear them groan
(Sparrow come back home)
Don't leave we alone
(Sparrow come back home)
Tell me what's the cry
(Sparrow come back home)
You never miss the water till the well run dry
(Sparrow come back home) (x4)

[Verse 3]
I know no other bacchanal
Could be as sweet as Carnival
But meh contract was to work away
And don't come back until Ash Wednesday
But everyday the mailbox pack up
When this thing goin' stop?
When ah read they ain't have no road march yet
Ah catch the P.N.M. jet

[Chorus]
(Sparrow come back home)
If you hear them groan
(Sparrow come back home)
If you hear them moan
(Sparrow come back home)
Laddie, tell me what's the cry
(Sparrow come back home)
You never miss the water till the well run dry
(Sparrow come back home) (x4)

[Verse 4]
Well everyday is the same complain
The postman come back again
Ah make up me mind to catch the aeroplane
Back to Port of Spain
But from Piarco to the City
They start back heckling me
A woman say, "Look the hog!
You did bound to come back, you dirty dog!"

[Chorus]
(Sparrow come back home)
If you hear them groan
(Sparrow come back home)
Madre, tell me what's the cry
(Sparrow come back home)
Don't doubt me if I lie or die
(Sparrow come back home)
You never miss the water till the well run dry
(Sparrow come back home) (x8)
