Mighty Sparrow - Village Ram
Review by elaine gantz wright
Mighty Sparrow's album Village Ram is a must-listen for any fan of calypso music. The album showcases the artist's signature style, which combines humorous lyrics with catchy melodies and infectious rhythms. The songs on the album cover a range of topics, including love, politics, and social issues, and are delivered with Sparrow's unique blend of wit and charm.
One standout track on the album is "Wanted Dead or Alive," which tells the story of a man who is being pursued by the police for a crime he didn't commit. The song's upbeat tempo and playful lyrics make it an instant classic. Another highlight is "The Village Ram," which celebrates the joys of village life and the simple pleasures that can be found in everyday activities.

hahahahhaha I remember this song !! 1960's Uk ! Jamaican girls at the Hospital I worked at , Rum and the Village Ram !! What a show stopper !!!
A title I always wanted
Is me the village ram
I ain't give a damn
Is me the village ram
I ain't give a damn
I cutting down black is white
Man I working day and night
If you have a job to be done
See me, I ain't making fun
And not a woman never complain yet with me
I ain't boasting, but I've got durability
And if a woman ever tell you that I
Ever left her dissatisfied
She lie, she lie, she lie
Beware when I drinking rum
I ain't like to done
And I bad like a cobra snake
Don't try to escape
When I put you in the clinch
Don't care how you bite and pinch
And I got me hand on your mouth
The way I does lock your neck, you can't shout
And not a woman never complain yet with me
I ain't boasting, but I've got durability
And if a woman ever tell you that I
Ever left her dissatisfied
She lie, she lie, I said she lie
The girls that they have in town
They so big and strong
And lord look at confusion
They ain't afraid no man
So in case of emergency
If you ain't able with she
And you find yourself in ah jam
I tell you send for the village ram
And not a woman never complain yet with me
I don't like to boast, but I've got durability
If a woman ever tell you that I
Ever left her dissatisfied
She lie, she lie, she lie
I am the champion without a doubt
I never lose a bout
And I fight them in every class
Don't ask who come last
All me fight is fifteen round
If you ain't in shape don't come
Any time this champion connect
The power of the punch always get respect
And not a woman never complain yet with me
I ain't boasting, but I got durability
If a woman ever say that I
Ever left her dissatisfied
She lie, she lie, she lie
I ain't give a damn
Is me the village ram
I ain't give a damn
I cutting down black is white
Man I working day and night
If you have a job to be done
See me, I ain't making fun
And not a woman never complain yet with me
I ain't boasting, but I've got durability
And if a woman ever tell you that I
Ever left her dissatisfied
She lie, she lie, she lie
Beware when I drinking rum
I ain't like to done
And I bad like a cobra snake
Don't try to escape
When I put you in the clinch
Don't care how you bite and pinch
And I got me hand on your mouth
The way I does lock your neck, you can't shout
And not a woman never complain yet with me
I ain't boasting, but I've got durability
And if a woman ever tell you that I
Ever left her dissatisfied
She lie, she lie, I said she lie
The girls that they have in town
They so big and strong
And lord look at confusion
They ain't afraid no man
So in case of emergency
If you ain't able with she
And you find yourself in ah jam
I tell you send for the village ram
And not a woman never complain yet with me
I don't like to boast, but I've got durability
If a woman ever tell you that I
Ever left her dissatisfied
She lie, she lie, she lie
I am the champion without a doubt
I never lose a bout
And I fight them in every class
Don't ask who come last
All me fight is fifteen round

The power of the punch always get respect
And not a woman never complain yet with me
I ain't boasting, but I got durability
If a woman ever say that I
Ever left her dissatisfied
She lie, she lie, she lie
