Well, they playing bad
They have me feeling sad
Well, they playing beast
Why they run for police
Ten criminals attack me outside ah Miramar
(Ten to one is murder!)
About ten in the night on the fifth of October
(Ten to one is murder!)
Way down Henry Street, by HGM Walker
(Ten to one is murder!)
Well, the leader of the gang was hot like a pepper
(Ten to one is murder!)
And every man in the gang had a white-handle razor
(Ten to one is murder!)
They say ah push the girl from Grenada
(Ten to one is murder!)
Well, ah back back until ah nearly fall in the gutter
(Ten to one is murder!)
Just imagine my position, not a police in the area!
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
Well, ah start to sweat
Man, ah soaking wet
Mama, so much threat
That's a night ah can't forget
Ten ah them against me with fifty spectator
(Ten to one is murder!)
And the way they coming up like they want to devour
(Ten to one is murder!)
But in the heat of the excitement, is then ah remember
(Ten to one is murder!)
In meh next pants pocket, ah forget me wedger
(Ten to one is murder!)
Ah don't know what to do, but ah just can't surrender
(Ten to one is murder!)
So they go cut me down as small as Pretender
(Ten to one is murder!)
Can you imagine all the planning to dig out meh liver
(Ten to one is murder!)
But as the crowd start to gather, ah started to shiver
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
In the still of the night
Ah was really in a fright
Me alone against ten
Ten vicious men
Ah remember ah had a chicken at Miramar
(Ten to one is murder!)
Well, ah said to meself, "that was meh last supper!"
(Ten to one is murder!)
But ah get away; and ah run, till ah reach Johnson corner
(Ten to one is murder!)
They take off in meh skin with big stick an' boulder
(Ten to one is murder!)
The fella in front was a very good pelter
(Ten to one is murder!)
Bottle and stone falling but no place to shelter
(Ten to one is murder!)
Ah hear "potow, pow!", and the crowd start to scatter
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
(Ten to one is murder!)
