Postcard to Sparrow - Mighty Sparrow

Christmas bells are ringing

Everybody singing

Children are dancing

Young couples romancing

My lover from Trinidad

Sent me a little post card

I opened and read

And this is what the little post card said:

Have a Merry Christmas my dear

Have a Happy New Year

Prosperous in everything you do

Happy Holiday to you!

She said how she miss me

And longing to kiss me

She is very lonely

And she love me only

I stood almost hypnotised

With tears running from my eyes

But still I could see

The season’s greeting she sent to me:

Merry Christmas my dear

Have a Happy New Year

Prosperous in everything you do

Happy Holiday to you!

My poor heart was aching

And me hands were shaking

So I kept on trying

To keep me from crying

I tried everything I could

But my heart isn’t made of wood

With card in me hand

I cried more than Alice in Wonderland

With this:

Merry Christmas my dear

Have a Happy New Year

Prosperous in everything you do

Happy Holiday to you!

When Dottie was leaving

I knew I was grieving

But I tried my utmost

To be as strong as a lamp post

But love is a crazy thing

It is no use pretending

I love her so bad

Tomorrow I’m going back to Trinidad

Merry Christmas my dear

Have a Happy New Year

Prosperous in everything you do

Happy Holiday to you!
