Royal Jail - Mighty Sparrow

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

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

All around them club

Used to see them, they begging for bob

Whn you pass by a strand

They stretching they hand

A pardnr 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

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

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

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

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

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
