1
Sit with me awhile
2
Let me tell you about a part of our country
3
At the place Stony Gut back in 1865
4
Lived a man Paul Bogle who was everything
5
A good man should be
6
But they hanged him by the courthouse
7
An example for Jamaica to see
8
They hanged him by the courthouse
9
An example for Jamaica to see
10
A man who followed Jesus
11
And whose actions were in line with His teachings
12
Who every Sunday morning
13
The gospel would endeavor to preach
14
Who understood the suffering of the people
15
He plainly could feel
16
But they hanged him by the courthouse
17
An example for Jamaica to see
18
They hanged him by the courthouse
19
An example for Jamaica to see
20
With the men from Stony Gut
21
Paul Bogle did come down that day
22
Through the bushes by the hills
23
Until they reached the town of Morant Bay
24
The reasons for his warnings and his actions
25
They could not believe
26
So they hanged him by the courthouse
27
An example for Jamaica to see
28
They hanged him by the courthouse
29
An example for Jamaica to see
30
That was like yesterday
31
Still happening today
32
History used to tell us
33
That Paul Bogle was really a traitor
34
Who murdered and rebelled
35
Against the peaceful government of the day
36
Now we can see clearly
37
And we finally know the reasons indeed
38
Why they hanged him by the courthouse
39
An example for Jamaica to see
40
They hanged him by the courthouse
41
An example for Jamaica to see
42
That was like yesterday
43
Still happening today
44
Unu remember Michael Gayle and Braeton 7
45
Nuff Youth from Tivoli, August Town and Rema and Jungle
46
Do you remember? Oh yeah
47
Like yesterday things are happening just the same today
48
Many get slain, I think it's insane
49
It happens on and on, on and on
50
It happens on and on, on and on
51
It happens on and on, on and on
52
Remember Michael Gayle, remember Braeton 7
53
Tivoli, August Town [Incomprehensible] get slain
