Innocent Blood ~



Man!! You Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle 
Innocent blood shed down there
Way down inna Babylon yeah!!
Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle 
Innocent blood shed down there
Hear something, yeah!
One year after slavery, the people were all suffering from small pox
George William Gordon was in justice 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 bringle Cotton tree
Oh!! Man if you tink I a lie a 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 Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle
Innocent blood shed down there
Listen to what I’m saying
Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle 
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
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 start
Oh!! Hear what I say
Man!! You Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle 
Innocent blood shed down there
Don’t believe I, believe in history book, it say
Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle 
Innocent blood shed down there
You’ve to forgive but not to forget
Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle, Tink a likkle
Innocent blood shed down there
