The Pioneers - Long Shot Kick De Bucket (Agard/Crooks/Robinson)

What a weepin' and wailin' dung a Caymanas park
What a weepin' and wailin' dung a Caymanas park
Long Shot - him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

Get up, get up in the first race
and them pull up the pace
Get up, get up in the first race
and them pull up the pace
and Long Shot - him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

Them wail, them wail, them reel
but they couldn't take the trail
Them wail, them wail, them reel
but they couldn't take the trail
and Long Shot - him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

It was Starbright, Combat, Corazon
Long Shot on the rear
It was Starbright, Combat, Corazon
Long Shot on the rear
Combat fell, Long Shot fell
all we money gone a hell
all we money gone a hell
and Long Shot - him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

Esben, Here goes......


Marcus was a famous jockey at Caymanas Park, Kingston, Jamaica in the
60's. I can't recall his last name yet.

State Chief Minister, My Son and Drumbeat were some of the other
horses in the race won by Chagga Warrior.
