Man! You think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little

I will tell you something, yeah!
One year after slavery, the people were all suffering from small pox
George William Gordon was judge of the peace at Morant Bay during that time
So he sent abroad for some of his doctors 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 hanged him on brindle cotton tree
Oh! Man if you think a lie I & I tell; take a look upon the 10 Dollar bill, Oh!
There you can see with his neck wrapped off
When he was hanged with his eye glass on
Jah know oh!
Man! You think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
Listen to what I’m saying!
Think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
Paul Boggle walked from Spanish Town to Stonnie Gut for the justice of black mankind, Oh Oh!
Nine men and himself maintained, when he reached to Spanish Town they refused to hear what he was saying
Man! So they walked away and say: Come on! Let’s form our own Government
Then straight after that you could see where the rebellion, Rebellion starts
Oh!! Hear what I say
Man! You think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
Don’t believe I! Believe in history book, it says
Think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
You’ve to forgive but not to forget
Think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
Jah know these all…
Think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
Do it in the ghetto, Jehovah know! Jehovah Yeah!
Think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
Don’t you forget about it? Please be careful and be peaceful
Think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
Don’t shed them more up, see that….---Lyrics submitted by Petrus Kafidi.
