Mighty Sparrow - Saltfish By The Mighty Sparrow lyrics
rate meSaltfish stew is what I like<br />
So doo-doo, give me day and night<br />
I like you food, so don't find me rude<br />
My favorite, I sure every man in here already eat it<br />
<br />
Saltfish<br />
Nothing in the world sweeter than<br />
Saltfish<br />
English, colloquial, Bajans<br />
Saltfish<br />
It's sweeter than meat<br />
When you want to eat<br />
All saltfish sweet<br />
<br />
Very well, I like the taste<br />
Though the smell, sometimes out of place<br />
It hard to take, but make no mistake<br />
I want you to know, it's because it extra sweet it smelling so boy it's<br />
<br />
Saltfish<br />
Big money does run behind it<br />
Saltfish<br />
Man does lick down man to find it<br />
Saltfish<br />
It's sweeter than meat<br />
When you want to eat<br />
All saltfish sweet<br />
<br />
Some like it hot, some like it cold<br />
No matter what, I take it young or old<br />
When it serve with wine, man does stew it fine<br />
Put no pepper, the bone in the centre does be sweet like sugar<br />
<br />
Saltfish<br />
Some men does get drunk to taste it<br />
Saltfish<br />
Some does go and hide to face it<br />
Saltfish<br />
It's sweeter than meat<br />
When you want to eat<br />
All saltfish sweet<br />
<br />
I would die, a happy man<br />
If I close me eye, with piece in me hand<br />
Bury me, in the cemetery<br />
Any money, put a saltfish picture on me tombstone saying<br />
<br />
Saltfish<br />
Sparrow was it's greatest lover<br />
Saltfish<br />
He even adored the odor<br />
Saltfish<br />
It's sweeter than meat<br />
When you want to eat<br />
All saltfish sweet<br />
<br />
END.</
