Hangman’s Cemetery

Mighty Sparrow

[Verse 1]
Ah getting fed-up, so fed-up
This thing got to stop
Ah getting fed-up, so fed-up
This thing got to stop
Why they molesting me?
Ah don't interfere with anybody
They jealousy wouldn't cease
But at least I could live in peace

[Chorus]
Ah know they does be grinding
When ah passing in my big time limousine
All polish and shining
And ah hugging up a beautiful wahbeen
They jealous and they envy, and they planning to commit a felony
Tell them don't tackle me before ah end up in the hangman cemеtery

[Verse 2]
Sometimes thеy see me in company, insulting me free
They have no season, no reason
They ain't 'fraid the prison
Through and through the city them hooligans molesting' me
Is me fans does tell me behave
Otherwise ah done send a few to dey grave

[Chorus]
Ah know they does be grinding
When ah passing in my big time limousine
All polish and shining
And ah hugging up a beautiful wahbeen
They jealous and they envy, and they planning to commit a felony
Tell them don't tackle me before ah end up in the hangman cemetery

One more time!

[Verse 3]
Well they too stupid ah don't like them
They so hungry, some of them sickly
They ain't take good care of dey body
I got me appetite
Six times in the day, four times in the night
Ah live clean, ah strong, ah ain't 'fraid
Some of them can even say when last they bathe

[Chorus]
Ah know they does be grinding
When ah passing in my big time limousine
All polish and shining
And ah hugging up a beautiful wahbeen
Well, they jealous and they envy, and they planning to commit a felony
But tell them don't tackle me before ah end up in the hangman cemetery

[Verse 4]
Some of them holding a good job
But hangin 'round night club
And drinking liquor like water
Oh yes, they mind in the gutter
If I talk to a girl
They'll make people feel she is the worst in the world
Ah can't take this thing anymore
Anytime they touch me is open war

[Chorus]
Ah know they does be grinding
When ah passing in my big time limousine
Well polished and shining
And ah hugging up a beautiful wahbeen
Well, they jealous and they envy, and they planning to commit a felony
Tell them don't tackle me before ah end up in the hangman cemetery
