Tell you something, yeah

Once year after slavery the people were all suffering from smallpox

I say, George William Gordon was justice of the peace

At Moran Bay during that time

So he sent abroad for some of his doctor friends

To come and minister unto them

To see what they could do, oh

And because he did such a good

They catch him and hang him in a brindle cotton tree

Whoa, man, if you think I lie, I'll tell

They can look up on the ten dollar bill

Whoa, they're true

There you can see with his neck wrapped up

There he was hung with his eye glass on

Jah know

Man, you think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little

Innocent blood shed down there

Listen to what I am saying

You think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little

Paul Boggle walked from Spanish town to Stonnie Gut

For the justice of black mankind, whoa

Nine men and himself made ten when he reached the Spanish town

They refused to hear what he was saying

Man, so they walked away and said

"Come on, let us form our own government"

Whoa, then straight after that you could see

Where the rebellion, the rebellion start, whoa, man

Hear what I'm saying, man

You think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
