[Chorus]
Man! You think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
Way down inna Babylon yeah!!
Think a little, think a little, think a little, think a little
Innocent blood shed down there
I will tell you something, yeah!

[Verse 1]
One year after slavery, the people were all suffering
From small pox
George William Gordon was justice of the peace
At Morant Bay during that time
So he sent abroad for some of his doctors friends
To come and administer 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, the truth
There you can see with his neck wrapped off
When he was hanged with his eye glass on
Jah know oh!

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Paul Bogle walked from Spanish Town to Stony 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

[Chorus]
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 notice 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 what I say?
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…
