Stabroek Woman

In the black of night

When the guard dogs bray

And your sweetest lover

Can't kill your pain

In the cold of night

By a single flame

Your shining blade

Won't shift the blame

Oh said I'm sinking so low

Oh I've said I'm sorry so long



Tighten up now mama

C'mon dance now child

You're just a backstreet woman

You got me hypnotized

You got me hypnotized



In the cold of the night

You see the black dog's breath

You feel so ashamed

By your lover's dress

Like the harbour lights

You can't sneak no rest

You know the brine

Salt taste of death
