6
But I go fence and block una mama with shuku-shuku, so dat e nor go waka go anywhere.

7
E go run follow en lovers, but e nor go fit katch dem. E go find dem, but e nor go si dem. Den e go sey, “I go-go back to my first husband. I betta well-well den wen I dey with am, pass as I dey naw.”

But till naw, e nor ever gri sey na mi gi-am di korn, wine, olive oil and all di silva and gold wey e take dey woship Baal.
