Wow!! I remember hearing this at parties when I was little. At 50 I only just find out he's talking about something else. I thought the man just love him saltfish 😂🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Takes me back to my first trip to Barbados in the 70s....this was playing everywhere. Memories

" I would die a happy man, If I close me eye wid piece in me hand..." 😂😂😂😂 absolute truth..

He's not talking bout food, brother. Lol

I listen to MR SPARROW growing up in 64 village while i was attending new market anglican primary school. He is my life long memory lane. Still going strong.

FISH Luke 5:2-11 I just found myself singing ‘Salt Fish’ by the Mighty Sparrow. This Calypso song was a hit when I was in Prep school and me and my then best friend Christopher use to sing it a lot. I never knew the sexual innuendo behind the song. Now that I think about it, he used to laugh a lot harder than I did when we sang it for our classmates, horns and all. Fish in Jamaica is now a slang for gays. In our innocence under the Almighty, the purity of being fishers of wo/men is a task not to be tainted by innuendo or fears of what others think. The sacred sign of the Saviour reminds us of the joy in JESUS.

I used to sing it too......never let my mom or grand ma hear though!

Lord have Mercy only West Indians can Understand growing up on this music 🤣🤣🤣

"When you out to eat, all saltfish sweet!"

RIP " sir p" ( father) still have ur 8 track tapes u grew me up on god bless u

"Sparrow was its greatest lover."LOL!!!

The mighty Sparrow , the original and still the best😁🎶🎶😁😁...everything he said about the saltedCodfish is true: expensive, versatile, sweet esp if you're drinking rum, the center bone nice, goes with any grees, ackee, stew and it's a part of my national dish...😄😄🎶🎼🎼

When I was small, he used to perform at the Banana Boat Club in Mo Bay, my mom and her friends used to dress beautifully and I always wish I was big enough to go with them, great memories memories! 🥳💥💥🤣

Nobody could top Sparrow for this one! :D

Unlike some of the calypso from my country, at least Sparrow made an effort to mask the meaning in veiled double entendres that made grown ups chuckle and wink. Sparrow could teach the master class in calypso.

One the best in soca music str8 from Grenada Mighty Sparrow...Trini treated him well but Greenz we born n bred him lol...GREEENZTIL IT ENDZZ

Sparrow is definitely the Mighty one. This is a classic calypso tune. Brings back so many, many memories......hehehehe.

Calypsonian the Mighty ( Slinger Franciscus) Sparrow was the greatest lover of saltfish. It is naughty. 😊 Lyrics of Saltfish by Mighty Sparrow (Slinger Franciscus) Saltfish stew is what I like So doo-doo, give me day and night I like you food, so don′t find me rude My favorite, I sure every man in here already eat it Saltfish Nothing in the world sweeter than Saltfish English, colloquial, Bajans Saltfish It's sweeter than meat When you want to eat All saltfish sweet Very well, I like the taste Though the smell, sometimes out of place It hard to take, but make no mistake I want you to know, it′s because it extra sweet it smelling so boy it's Saltfish Big money does run behind it Saltfish Man does lick down man to find it Saltfish It's sweeter than meat When you want to eat All saltfish sweet Some like it hot, some like it cold No matter what, I take it young or old When it serve with wine, man does stew it fine Put no pepper, the bone in the centre does be sweet like sugar Saltfish Some men does get drunk to taste it Saltfish Some does go and hide to face it Saltfish It′s sweeter than meat When you want to eat All saltfish sweet I would die a happy man If I close me eye, with piece in me hand Bury me in the cemetery Any money, put a saltfish picture on me tombstone saying Saltfish Sparrow was it′s greatest lover Saltfish He even adored the odor Saltfish It's sweeter than meat When you want to eat All saltfish sweet Writer(s): Slinger Francisco, Winsford Devine
