Stabroek Woman Songtext
von William Topley

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
