Mother Pepper - Desmond Dekker, The Aces

Mother Pepper

Why, why, why, why Mother Pepper?

x2

Haul up you mouth and give me pass, Mother Pepper.

x2

Mother Pepper x2

Just stand and look at your mouth, it big as the Gulf of

Mexico

And if some one say red, see ya Jah

Ooh, you deh right den

Like when dem say «fire under moos-moos tail and him

Think of cold breeze.»

Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper

Haul up you mouth and give me pass, Mother Pepper

Mother Pepper x2

Gal what make you so hot

And your foot dry like fe rat bat

You hot like fire breaking a dish

And your neck favor cutlass fish

How could you say its a sham, and you mouth gettin caught

In a jam

Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper…
