By bob marley

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.

Sheriff john brown always hated me;
For what I don't know.
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, kill it before it grows.
He said, kill it before it grows.
I say:

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 say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.

I'm a massive clapton fan love all his music, but at the risk of sounding ignorant or something why do they call him 'slowhand'?

[ericmiller500]

@peaves01 Clapton gained the nickname “Slowhand” during his stint playing Blues with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, he also released an album named Slowhand in 1977. It was his guitar technique that gained him that title. 

[contremisart]

@ericmiller500 as far as i know, clapton used to break a lot of strings during his early days and while he was retuning his guitar patiently on stage, people were slowly hand clapping him.. and that became slowhand :)

[ericmiller500]

@contremisart Sounds good to me :). I'm sure there are a few more theories too. Anyone alse got any ideas?

ERIC PLEASE VISIT CRACOW

[AflatB7]

@sverddansar77 "The Crossroads Festival is a music benefit concert first held in 2004.Founded by Eric Clapton, a drug treatment center located in Antigua. The concerts are also intended to be a showcase for a variety of guitarists. All were hand-picked by Eric Clapton himself, who addressed the 2007 audience, saying that each were some of the very best, and those who had earned his respect." ***NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR ERIC CLAPTON'S RACIST ACCUSATIONS...DUMBASSS!!!

[AflatB7]

on top of that, every year, eric clapton does a concert series called "CROSSROADS" in which he donates all proceeds to fight drug addiction in Haiti-- A predominant BLACK country!!

[AflatB7]

to call eric clapton racist is really absurd and deplorable and doesnt even know what the hell they are talking about. if you look at his musical career, the man plays about 70% blues. and what is blues? mainly black music isn't it? DUHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! BOB MARLEY IS BLACK--- I SHOT THE SHERIFF! HELLO!! LOL STUPID people i swear

[SuperPauparamore]

es una cancion preciosa, el dia de san valentin de 2010 fallecio mi madre y era una de sus canciones preferidas, ¡ hasta siempre mama !

[sverddansar77]

[HairyProductionz]
