Suzy Jumbie - Mighty Sparrow

An ugly woman named Suzy Jumbie

Selling roast corn in Sangre Grande

She win a sweepstakes there recently

And stop selling corn immediately

No man never look at she twice

But now they saying how she so nice

She listening to them attentively

And than tell all of them candidly:

«When I had no money

Nobody didn’t want me

Now I win a little bit of money

All you buying me company

I don’t want nobody

I ain’t care if all you want me

Any man that want to want me

Must have more money than me, Suzy Jumbie»

If you see all thm big time doctors

Magistrates and big lawyers

You won’t blieve they done married already

And still they promising matrimony

Saying how she so lovely and exquisite

The image of Princess Margaret

All this mamaguism and flattery

Had no effect on Suzy

«When I had no money

Nobody didn’t want me

Now I win a little bit of money

All you buying me company

Because I ain’t want nobody

I ain’t care if all you want me

Any man that wants to want me

Must have more money than me, Suzy Jumbie»

I see a saga boy shedding tears

Saying he love Suzy for donkey years

And he just can’t take it no longer again

His love for her driving him insane

No sleep, no food, morning, noon, or night

Her lovely face always in sight

He got to turn the face, he can’t look at she

But he talking about matrimony

She tell him:

«When I had no money

Saga, you didn’t want me

Now I win a little bit of money

You buying me company

I ain’t want nobody

I ain’t care if all you want me

Any man that wants to want me

Must have more money than me»

One day an ugly-no-teeth fellow name Laddy

He went up to Sangre Grande

Bounced up Suzy one Saturday night

And she fell madly in love at first sight

An old Taxi driver from Port of Spain

You know the criminal got brain

He milk she dry, he pull out and gone

Suzy gone back to selling roast corn

For when she had she money

She always had company

Play smart for everybody

But she get trap with no-teeth laddie

Moco Jumbie Suzy, boy she really looking sad

Every penny she make nowadays

She buying sweepstakes like if she mad
