Yellowman, Fathead - Getting Divorce lyrics
[Yellowman, Fathead - Getting Divorce lyrics]
Then, Yellowman, why you divorce Susan, eh?
Boy, Fathead, I cyaan take it no longer
I just cyaan take it no longer, seen?
Boy, she a ruin mi life, boy
I'm gettin' divorced in the evening
Buff baff, Susan get a lot of beatin' (Why?)
Mi give her plenty money
To look out for mi yellow baby
So take me to di family court on time
(But listen, man)
Mi dress up in a jacket, mi dress up in a tie
As mi reach di court, di girl a tell lie
Di judge say
"I know you never love that guy"
Then tell me, Your Honor
Why she married I an' I?
Put her in di kitchen to fry some chicken
Put her in di kitchen to boil some rice
When mi see weh she do
Mi bawl "Jesus Christ!"
She burn up di chicken an' go curry di rice
I'm gettin' divorced in the evening
Buff baff, Susan get a lot of beatin'
Mi give her plenty money
To look out for di yellow baby
So take me to di family court on time
(But listen, man)
Di one Susan, she have plenty man
She have three of them weh live a Portland
Say, one nana man, one of dem a Byron
An' one of dem a soldier in a Hope Park camp
Mi pack up mi ting an' go through di door
Mi wave my hand an' say "Good bye, Susan!"
Say, as mi reach di gate I
Hear she sing one song
Come back darling, give me another try
(Woh yoy) an' mi will satisfy (You know)
I'm gettin' divorced in the evening
Buff baff, Susan get a lot of beatin'
(Tell mi why?)
Mi give her plenty money, to buy feedin'
Also nappy
As night come she gone, let di yellow baby
(But listen, man)
Mi love Susan 'til mi go a obeah man
Mi love Susan 'til mi go a obeah man
Di obeah man say: "I beg you
Stretch out you hand"
Mi stretch out mi hand an'
Then he read my palm
He open di Bible an' read one psalm
Him say, "Yellowman
I goin' tell you weh they gone"
"Fathead an' fi you woman dem just gone"
Mi no want
Mi no want weh Fathead nyam an' left (Right)
Mi no want
Mi no want weh Fathead nyam an' left (Why?)
Fathead walk a mile an' a half
In a you gungu-walk
Fathead walk a mile an' a half
In a you gungu-walk (Know why?)
I'm gettin' divorced in the evening
Buff baff, Susan get a lot of beatin'
Mi give her plenty money
To look out for di yellow baby
So take me to di family court on time
(But listen, man)
Mi cyaan take di girl Susan
Boy, Fathead, I cyaan take it no longer
I just cyaan take it no longer, seen?
Boy, she a ruin mi life, boy
I'm gettin' divorced in the evening
Buff baff, Susan get a lot of beatin' (Why?)
