Why don't you leave me alone

when I just wanna stay at home

and lemme listen to "do I worry"

Derrick sings marvelously well

all of my dreams dem locked in dis room

I'm gonna be a star very soon

but lemme listen to "I worry"

Derrick sings for I only

lemme listen to "I worry"

Derrick sings for me only

lemme listen to "do I worry"

leave us alone Derrick and me

shut de door stop following me

leave us alone Derrick and me!

So one more day, another night
One more year without you
God I'm so blue, honey I miss you
So one more day, another night
One more year without you
God I'm so blue, don't know how old are you...


I mus' say if I had de money
I could show you a better day

still don't know how to make ends meet
tell me what do you learn at school
do your new daddy tink I'm a fool?

I still polish shoes and still beg fi money
tings dem so hard pon me!

Rushden road Margarita danced
"blow Don D blow" she said like inna trance
she was de queen of de rumba beat
he was de troubled man of de ska beat.
On new year's eve inna Johnsontown
de Skatalites played from dusk till dawn
wrong medication plus depression
blood on de floor whappened troubled Don?

Stabbed in di chest convicted murderer
she met her death when she met her lover
"open di door fi me open Junie!"
di clock stroke four...end of di story.

di musical prophet sowed de seeds
a precious sound's now rulin' de streets
