Royal Jail

Mighty Sparrow

[Verse 1]
Criminals beware
All you got to hear
Criminals beware
Monsieur, all you got to hear
This amount of licking down
All over town
Sharing licks from street to street
But they know who to beat

Believe me

[Chorus]
I done tell me friends and meh family
Not to worry
Anyone of them interfere with me
Take it easy
Don't worry to beg the jury
Save the lawyer fee
And if you have any mail
Well, send it to me at the Royal Jail

[Verse 2]
All around them club
Used to see them, they begging for bob
Whеn you pass by a strand
They stretching they hand
A pardnеr give me something dey
You ain't have so you walk away
Next morning you wake up in a ravine
You head burst, you pocket clean

But not me

[Chorus]
I done tell me friends and meh family
Yeah I tell them don't worry
Anyone of them interfere with me
Take it easy
Don't worry to beg the jury
Save the lawyer fee - no money at all
And if you have any mail
Send it to me at the Royal Jail

[Verse 3]
Well it have one they call Jack Slade
Man he blacker than the Ace of Spade
If you see this long streak of misery
Always molesting everybody
Brother you can't pass through St. James
Unless they cuss you and call you filthy names
But I contact the police already
Now ah waiting like a mapipire

And believe me

[Chorus]
I done tell me friends and meh family
Not to worry
Anyone of them interfere with me
Take it easy
Don't worry to beg the jury
Save the lawyer fee
And if you have any mail
I live at the Royal Jail

[Verse 4]
Dr. Solomon
Was attacked by another gang
Just imagine the minister of home affairs
He and all have to walk with care
But I laugh when he give them the score
He say before they take him he taking four
But if they tackle me my friend
They have to multiply four by ten and that is forty

[Chorus]
I done tell me friends and meh family
Not to worry
Anyone of them interfere with me
Take it easy
Don't worry to beg the jury
Save the lawyer fee
And if you have any mail
I live in the Royal Jail
