The Outlaw Josey Wales

0

[Intro]
Ribbit, Lord have mercy, Jesus Christ, nice
[Verse 1]
Man, me went to a dance a Clarendon
Me and a big fat ting named Pam
But as me reach at the dance gate
The gateman a hold on pon mi woman hand
One box me give him in a him blasted face
Money scatter out, all over the place
Babylon butt me with a big .38 (Hear me now, dread)
[Chorus]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
[Verse 2]
Me sleep under mi cellar when me live a Papine
And anything me eat, it have fi Ites gold and green
Mi beetroot, mi ackee, man, mi cabbage, and mi beans (Lord)
[Chorus]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
[Verse 3]
You love brag and you love show off (Lord)
You mouth long like a shoveled mouth shark
Put mi neck pon a block, and even chop it off
Put it in a wheel barrow, fling it down a wharf
Mi duppy come back and it still a laugh
[Chorus]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
[Verse 3]
Take your five dollar out of my twenty dollar (Lord)
Give me back mi fifteen dollar change
'Cause when you deh a dance gate you act so strange (Lord)
[Chorus]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
[Verse 4]
Have mi brethren, Lord, him rest a New York
Take him telescope and him spy in a Yaad
Him couldn't see nobody 'cause the place too cork
Me have fi laugh (Lord have mercy, Jesus Christ, hey)
Take your hand out of mi arrow shirt collar
This yah sound is the only one me follow
Move your foot off of mi Sterling and Wool
Me come in a the dance and mi belly well full
You must a think I man come yah fi love
I never sail pon raft, Lord, neither boat (Hey)
[Chorus]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Lord have mercy
[Verse 5]
Mi say, you hold the gate fee, you don't pay a fifty cent
Yet you have the most argument
I waan box and kick you, bring you to the government (Lord)
[Chorus]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
[Verse 6]
Your arm smell like a rotten sardine
Jah know, you talk and your mouth no clean
Look pon your face and it look so lean
[Chorus]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in (Hey, Lord)
[Verse 3]
You put mi neck pon a block, and even chop it off
Put it in a wheel barrow, fling it down a wharf
Mi duppy come back, Lord, it still a laugh (Hey)
[Chorus]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
(Jesus Christ, Lord, me nice, hey)
[Verse 7]
Me never come pon no bus, a strictly bicycle
When me leave this yah dance, a pure empty bottle (Lord)
Mi just a skank, mi knee dem a tremble
So, hey gateman, you fi have principles (Lord)
[Chorus]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in (Lord)
[Verse 8]
Mi say, mi big fat ting in a Ferlucci jeans
And me in a my full suit of green
Mi say, we stand up 'round the music machine
The people dem a tell, we say, we look neat and clean (Lord)
[Outro]
Leggo mi hand, gateman, let me come in
