ok, here are the lyrics of a song called
"Long Shot, kick the Bucket"
by the Pioneers.
i understand every word what they´re singing but i can´t figure out the context. could someone "translate" it?

LONG SHOT KICK DE BUCKET - The Pioneers
(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

I'm pretty sure I've heard this song before...I'm not even sure exactly what it means, but "kick the bucket" is an English idiom that means someone died.

anyone else want to try?
