[Intro]
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
[Verse 1]
In an island called Jamaica
Rode a rankin' one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around
Didn't have too much to say
[Chorus]
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
[Verse 2]
He came ridin' from the south side
Slowly lookin' all around
Three wise guys tried to take him
But they lay dead on the ground
[Chorus]
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
[Verse 1]
In an island called Jamaica
Rode a rankin' one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around
Didn't have too much to say
[Chorus]
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
[Verse 2]
He came ridin' from the south side
Slowly lookin' all around
Three wise guys tried to take him
But they lay dead on the ground
[Chorus]
(Scatting)
The sounds of a gunshot jus' a cry
