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!

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

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
