Yeah Yellowman, why you divorce Susan, eh?
Boy, Fathead, I can't take it no longer
I just can't take it no longer, seen?
Boy, she a ruin me life, boy
I'm getting divorce in the evening
Buff-back Susan get a lot of beating (Why?)
Me give her plenty money
To look after me yellow baby
So take me to the family court and tie
But listen, man
Me dress up inna jacket, me dress up inna tie
As me reach the court, the girl a tell lie
The judge say, "I know you never love that guy"
Then tell me, Your Honor, why she marry 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 burn up the chicken and go curry the rice
I'm getting divorce in the evening
Buff-back Susan get a lot of beating
Me give her plenty money
To look after the yellow baby
So take me to the family court and tie
But listen, man
Me want Susan, she have plenty man
She have three of them weh live a Portland
Say one of them a man, one of them a Byron
And one of them a soldier inna Up Park Camp
Me pack up me thing and go to the door
Me wave my hand and say, "Goodbye, Susan"
Say as me reach the gate, you hear she sing one song
"Come back, darling
Give me another try
Woi-yoi, and me will satisfy", yo
I'm getting divorce in the evening
Buff-back Susan get a lot of beating (Tell me why)
Me give her plenty money
To buy feeding also nappy
As night come, she gone left the yellow baby
But listen, man
Me love Susan 'til me go a other man
Me love Susan 'til me go a other man
The other man say, "I beg you stretch out your hand"
Me stretch out me hand and then him read my palm
Him open the Bible, him read one psalm
Him say, "Yellowman, I goin' tell you weh deh gwaan
Fathead and pure woman, them just gone"
Me no waan, me no waan weh Fathead nyam and left (Aight?)
Me no waan, me no waan weh Fathead nyam and left (Why?)
Fathead walk a mile and a half inna your gungo walk (Lord)
Fathead walk a mile and a half inna your gungo walk (Know why?)
I'm getting divorce in the evening
Buff-back Susan get a lot of beating
Me give her plenty money
To look after the yellow baby
So take me to the family court and tie
But listen, man
Me can't take the girl Susan
