Man Before Morning - Mighty Sparrow

Clarabelle will chase the devil from hell

With the kind of way she does smell

Anytime she pass you could tell

All alone, not a sweetheart to call her own

In the dance you could hear she groan

«My heart isn’t made of stone»

Everybody laughing, everybody glad

Me the mamaguy and things really looking bad

«Even if I got to pay him

I must catch a man before morning!»

Like a savage, she face always in a rage

And even though she have courage

She fat and she down with age

She can’t dance, but she huff and puff for romance

Anytime that she could get a chance

Jumping in any pans

Everybody laughing and everybody glad

Me the mamaguy and things really looking bad

«Even if I got to pay him

I must catch a man before morning!»

A straight scotch, a double rum on the rocks

«Dou-dou why you drinking so much?»

She hold me and start to touch

Bawling «Hurray, ah catch a big one!»

she say

Then the woman drag me away

And swept me off for the whole day

Everybody laughing, everybody glad

Me the mamaguy and things really looking bad

«Even if I got to pay him

I must catch a man before morning!»
