[Intro]
Anytime yuh 'ear di desert wind whistling
Clear di way, di lawman ridin'
[Hook]
Bwoy mussi tink seh ah Sunsplash or Sting
Come call out di drifter inna early morning, hmm
Di only time mi perform inna early morning
Is wen mi gun ah guh do some killin’
[Verse 1]
Bwoy yuh test di drifter, mek sure yuh 'ave wing
If yuh don’t ‘ave nuh wing, gunshot going to sing
Di gun weh mi ah fyah name 'nah save a ting'
Stay one thousand miles, shot di head off ah pin
Nuff deejay ah talk seh dem waan curl mi skin
Di last one seh dat, I plain kill ‘im
Roun’ ‘im neck ah weh mi put piece ah string
Den find a tree an’ fling it ova di limb
Nuff man ah guh dead, bwoy skull ah guh bore
If unnu test di lawman for sure
Wen yuh guh sleep, I will kick off yuh door
Mi nuh wait fi yuh wake, mi buss di 404
Stop fram chuck it an’ gwaan like yuh brave
I will put yuh pon a rocket, send yuh up ah space
Do anything fi put yuh inna yuh grave
Beat yuh like dog, chain yuh like slave
[Hook]
Bwoy mussi tink seh ah Sunsplash or Sting
Come call out di drifter inna early morning, hmm
If unnu mek mi perform inna early morning

Di people in di town ah seh mi insane
Di wickedest lawman weh eva ride di range
High Plains Drifter nah seek nuh fame
Mek di town calm, mek di town tame
[Hook]
