Linstead Market
[Verse 1]
Mi carry mi ackee go a Linstead Market
Not a quattie worth sell
Mi carry me ackee go a Linstead Market
Not a quattie worth sell

[Chorus]
Lawd what night, not a bite
What a Saturday night
Lawd what a night not a bite
What a Saturday night

[Verse 2]
Everybody come feel up, feel up
Not a quattie worth sell
Everybody come feel up, feel up
Not a quattie worth sell

[Chorus]
Lawd what night, not a bite
What a Satiday night
Lawd what a night not a bite
What a Satiday night

Rice and ackee nyam gran’

[Chorus]
Lawd what night, not a bite

Lawd what a night not a bite
What a Satiday night

All di pickney come linga ling

All di pickney come linga ling
Fi weh dem mumma no bring
[Chorus]
Lawd what night, not a bite
What a Satiday night
Lawd what a night not a bite
What a Satiday night
