"Obeah Wedding" lyrics
(originally by Mighty Sparrow)
You making youself a pappy show Melda
You making youself a bloody clown
Up and down the country looking for Obeah
And your perspiration smell so strong, well...
Girl you only wasting time
Obeah wedding bells don't chime
And you can't trap me
With necromancy
Melda oh you making wedding plan
Carrying meh name to Obeah man
All you do can't get through
I still ain't go marry to you
The amount of incense that you burn at night
Lard and garlic stinking up meh place
So much different color candles that you light
Rubbing red lavender in your face, well...
Nastyness gon' cause your death
Girl no man can stand your breath
You too damn nasty
Get away from me
Melda oh you making wedding plan
Carrying meh name to Obeah man
All you do can't get through
I still ain't go marry to you
If you really want a wedding ring Melda
There are many other ways and means
Like scrubbing your teeth and bathing regular
Soap and water keeps you fresh and clean, yes...
Dress up in the latest style
Always wear a charming smile
Some koonoomoonoo
Bound to say "I do"
Melda oh you making wedding plan
Carrying meh name to Obeah man
All you do can't get through
I still ain't go marry to you
Look how many nights we hug up tight tight tight
All we ever know was love and peace
Now every minute is only fight fight fight
'Til you using Obeah man for priest, well...
You don't seem to understand
Obeah can't upset my plan
For Papa Neeza
Is meh grandfather
Melda oh you making wedding plan
Carrying meh name to Obeah man
All you do can't get through
I still ain't go marry to you
You making youself a bloody clown
Up and down the country looking for Obeah
And your perspiration smell so strong, well...
Girl you only wasting time
Obeah wedding bells don't chime
And you can't trap me
With necromancy
Melda oh you making wedding plan
Carrying meh name to Obeah man
All you do can't get through
I still ain't go marry to you
The amount of incense that you burn at night
Lard and garlic stinking up meh place
So much different color candles that you light
Rubbing red lavender in your face, well...
Nastyness gon' cause your death
Girl no man can stand your breath
You too damn nasty
Get away from me
Melda oh you making wedding plan
Carrying meh name to Obeah man
All you do can't get through
I still ain't go marry to you
If you really want a wedding ring Melda
There are many other ways and means
Like scrubbing your teeth and bathing regular
Soap and water keeps you fresh and clean, yes...
Dress up in the latest style
Always wear a charming smile
Some koonoomoonoo
Bound to say "I do"
Melda oh you making wedding plan
Carrying meh name to Obeah man
All you do can't get through
I still ain't go marry to you
Look how many nights we hug up tight tight tight
