Lyrics
My husband is a tropical man you see
He is a native of Dubladee
In Dubladee all the natives you see
They love roast pork and rice and peas
Knowing me husband loves rice and peas
Being a lady who loves to please
I decided to cook him some
Before me husband started to run
I put the peas in the pot to cook
I get the paper and start to look
To see what odds they are givin' away
Me favorite horse was runnin' that day
I put the peas in the pot to cook
I put the peas in the pot to cook
But me horse was runnin' at 20 to 1
So me peas and the rice come out burn burn
The peas burn up and me pot get black
Just then me husband he comes back
Me husband makes a right swing at me
I get mixed up with the rice and the peas
He says "I know this has happened before
I smell the burn burn outside the door
When I come home and me work is done
Me house is filled with confusion"
"You put the peas in the pot to cook
But you too busy to take a look
The peas and me pot they both get black
Why don't you marry with the horses and live at the track?"
I take a seat in the easy chair
Right by the door to catch some air
Me husband swing around to knock me down
The chair fold up and I hit the ground
I jump on me foot and I start to run
Me husband throw at me a pepper can
The pepper fly out and it make me sneeze
I jump in the yard just to catch the breeze
When I think what me husband said
He won't love me till the day I dead
It break me heart and it make me cry
Big teardrops fall out me eye
I stay in the yard till late at night
I decide me to face the fight
When I walk in what do me I see
Me husband in the bed with me racing sheet
I put the peas in the pot to cook
I put the peas in the pot to cook
But if me husband comes in at 20 to 1
Then me peas and me rice and me pot and me husband burn burn
