Sailor Man [1960 Version]

[Verse 1]
Yes, since ah married Dorothy
She got meh going crazy
Since ah married Dorothy
She have meh going crazy
Well is butt like fire
Ah can't take it no longer
No no no ah can't stand the pressure
Like she want meh to commit murder

[Chorus]
She have a sailor man (Ah-ha!)
She have a Chinee man (Ah-ha!)
Let go the Chinee man
And pick up with a policeman

Let's go, boss man!

[Verse 2]
Every day is a complaint
She want to burn down Port of Spain
And if ah raise meh hand at all
You surprise to hear how she will bawl
And is the same behaviour
Mama yo is butt like fire
Ah can't take it no longer
You know ah nearly dead with tabanca

[Chorus]
She have a sailor man (Ah-ha!)
She have a Chinee man (Ah-ha!)
She let go the sailor man
And pick up with a steelband man

[Verse 3]
After working very hard
Coming home to rest, ah feeling bad
But when ah look out meh window
Ah see a sailor cap and merino
So then ah ask Dorothy
"Darling you joining the navy?"
Big fight we end up in the station
In front of the hog-face policeman

[Chorus]
She had a sailor man (Ah-ha!)
Left the policeman (Ah-ha!)
Let go the steelband man
Come running back to this Calypsoman
