The Pioneers 'Long Shot Kick De Bucket' (Official Video)

Classic boss sounds from 1969, performed by leading Jamaican trio, the Pioneers.

Relating the sudden and dramatic demise of noted racehorse Long Shot at a race held at Kingston’s famed Caymanas Park, ‘Long Shot Kick The Bucket’ became one of Trojan Records’ earliest UK chart hits, with the record peaking at No.21 in the Official UK Singles Chart.

The track was since become a skinhead anthem, its enduring popularity due in part to a cover version by the Specials that featured on the UK ska band’s chart-topping live EP entitled Too Much Too Young, which also featured their interpretations of ‘Liquidator’ and ‘Skinhead Moonstomp’.

LONG SHOT KICK THE BUCKET LYRICS

What a weepin’ and a wailin’
Down at Caymanas Park
What a weepin’ and a wailin’
Down at Caymanas Park

Long Shot, him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

It happen, it happened in the first race
And it cold up the place
It happen, it happened in the first race
And it cool up the place

Long Shot, him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

Him wail, him wail, him rail
But him couldn’t take the trail
Him wail, him wail, him rail
But him couldn’t take the trail

Long Shot, him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

It was Gay Blade, Combat, Carousel,
Long Shot on the rail
It was Gay Blade, Combat, Carousel,
Long Shot on the rail

Combat fell, Long Shot fell
All we money gone a hell
All we money gone a hell

Long Shot, him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket
