Watcha now, watcha now!
Ceive dem nowo-o-w, some way somehow
I was telling him not to take his gun to town
Him never stop, him never listen
And now him get showdown, yea
He used to walk, he used to talk
He used to chuck it all about, yea
But now I heard it on the news
That he was killed in a shoot out, Lord
He never learnt to hear
And he didn't have no fear
I was telling him a long time to stop
But his heart was made of rock (watcha now)
Poor Freddie, in a badness him never ready, Lord
Poor Freddie, mmm, don dada ready
I was telling him not to take his gun to town
Him never stop, him never listen
And now him get showdown, yea
He used to walk, he used to talk
He used to chuck it all about, yea
But now I heard it on the news
That he was killed in a shoot out, Lord
He was wanted dead or alive
But under the heat, he could not survive
There wasn't a place for rescue
So he was dropped down the avenue
People jump and shout
Now they are free to walk all about
Not even his family were crying
Everyone were rejoicing
I was telling him not to take his gun to town
Him never stop, him never listen
And now him get showdown, yea
He used to walk, he used to talk
He used to chuck it all about, yea
But now I heard it on the news
That he was killed in a shoot out, Lord
So ceive dem now (ceive dem now) watcha now
Ceive dem now (ceive dem now)
Someway somehow
He never learnt to hear
And he didn't have no fear
I was telling him a long time to stop
But his heart was made of rock, Lord
He was guilty for all the crimes he pay
He was not innocent, so his life was taken away
Poor Freddie, in a badness him never ready, Lord
Poor Freddie, mi saying, don dada ready
I was telling him not to take his gun to town
Him never stop, him never listen
And now him get showdown, yea
