GRAMPA'S ADVICE
By The Mighty Sparrow

Two women in my life, one of them got to be my wife
Two women in my life, one of them got to be my wife,
Betty love me but I love Myra, gone to explain to Grandpapa,
What should I do, who should I wed? Grandpa watch me and then he said...

Chorus:
The one who you love, never marry to she,
Is the one who love you, she go make you happy
Keep the one that you love on the side all the while
But the one who love you, take her straight down the aisle!

Grandpapa you making fun, that is easier said than done,
How I go leave my sweetheart on top the shelf, ups and marry somebody else?
All you, young boy, ain't got no sense, I telling you from experience
A woman must love you more than you love she, before you jump in matrimony.

Chorus:
The one that you love, never marry to she,
Is the one who love you, she go make you happy
Keep the one that you love on the side all the while
But the one who love you, take her straight down the aisle!

She pretty and nice and fat, but you can't marry she just for that
Nine times out of ten is true, the one you love not in love with you
So when you have a sure thing, that is where you must put your ring
If you go get married you got to be smart, boy use your head and not you heart.

Chorus:
The one who you love, never marry to she,
Is the one who love you, she go make you happy
Keep the one that you love on the side all the while
And the one who love you, take her straight down the aisle!

I didn't listen what my Grampa say, that is why I suffering so today
Myra cheat me until I blind, seven children and none ent mine
Every time I open my mouth, she and she Moomma put me out
Now I believe what my Grandpapa said, I can't forget it until I dead.

Chorus:
The one that you love, never marry to she,
Is the one who love you, she go make you happy
Keep the one that you love on the shelf all the while
But the one who love you, take her straight down the aisle!

A Note From The Gull
The message is a serious one but the laughter is the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down in a most delightful way.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
