I Shot The Sheriff

 Eric Clapton

 

 

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy

I shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot the deputy

All around my hometown

They say they want to bring me in guilty

For the killing of the deputy

For the life of a deputy

But I said

I shot the sheriff

But I swear it was in self defense

I shot the sheriff

And they say it is a capitol offense

Sheriff John Brown always hated me

For what? I don't know

But every time that I plant a seed

He said "Kill it before it grows"

He said "Kill it before it grows"

I said

I shot the sheriff

But I swear it was in self defense

I shot the sheriff

But I swear it was in self defense

Freedom came my way one day

And I started out of town

All of a sudden I see Sheriff John Brown

Aiming to shoot me down

So I shot, I shot him down

I said

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy

I shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot the deputy

Reflexes got the better of me

And what is to be must be

Every day the bucket falls to the well

One day the bottom will drop out

Yes, one day the bottom will drop out

I shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot the deputy

Oh no, oh no

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot no deputy

Oh no

Bob Marley- I Shot the Sheriff

 

 

 

 

자메이카 출신으로,

밥 말리라는 이름으로 기억되며

''레게의 전도사''로

흔히 불려지는 바로 그 인물!

지난 1981년 5월 11일 서른 여섯

한창 나이에 세상을 떠났다.

많은 천재들이

그러했듯이 이처럼 덧없이 끝나버렸다.

 

하지만 그가 전도한 레게 음악은

많은 뮤지션들에 의해 온전하게,

혹은 변이된 형태로 재창조되며

오늘날도 여전히 팝 음악의

한 장르로 대접받고 있다.
