Yellowman – Getting Divorce lyrics

Then Yellowman why did you divorced Susan?
Boy Fathead I can't take it no longer.
I just can't take it no longer. Seen?
Boy she a ruined mi life bwoy...

I'm getting divorced in the evening.
Buff-baff Susan get a lot of beating. Why?
Me give her plenty money
To look a for mi yellow baby
So take me to the family court on time!
But listen man!

Me dress up ina jacket, me dress up ina tie.
As me reaching court the girl a tell lie.
The judge seh: I know you never loved that gal.
Then tell me your honour why she married I and I?
Put her in the kitchen to fry some chicken.
Put her in the kitchen to boil some rice.
When me see what she do me bawl Jesus Christ!
She burned-out the chicken and? The rice!

I'm getting divorced in the evening.
Buff-baff Susan get a lot of beating.
Me give her plenty money
To look a for the yellow baby
So take me to the family court on time!
But listen man!

Me one Susan she have plenty man.
She have 3 a them wey live a Portland.

Seh one Anna man, one a them a Byron
And one a them a soldier ina Hope Park camp.
Me pack up me thing and go thru the door.
Me wave my hand and seh: Good bye Susan!
Seh as me reach the gate I hear she sing one song:
Come back darling!
Give me another try!
Why I! And me will satisfy!
You know...

I'm getting divorced in the evening.
Buff-baff Susan get a lot of beating. Tell me why?
Me give her plenty money
To buy feed and also nappy
As night come she gone let the yellow baby!
But listen man!

Me love Susan 'til me go a obeah-man.
Me love Susan 'til me go a obeah-man.
The obeah-man seh: I beg you stretch out you hand.
Me stretch out mi hand and then he read my palm.
He open the Bible and read one psalm.
Him seh: Yellowman I gwaan tell you wey they gwaan.
Fathead and fi you woman them just gone!
Me no want! Me no want! Where Fathead ya man left!
Me no want! Me no want! Where Fathead ya man left!
Why?
Fathead?
Fathead?
