@@stephenokeefe7068 That organic and almost natural eloquence between the drum and bass is sublime. I can listen to that last part over and over again.
I just saw the Bob Marley movie it was just a beautiful movie!! I heard stuff I’ve never heard before but yeah my favorite Marley songs are Could You Be Loved, Three Little Birds and Buffalo Soldier!!
[22 November 2022] Perfect. Perfectly rockin', and more to the point, perfectly *scarifying* ; with the most brilliantly queasy, faintly off-kilter falsetto harmony backing vocals from Bunny Wailer (and possibly - astoundingly - from Peter Tosh, too).
Love this song. I saw and heard Jimmy Cliff sing this at Randalls Island n Manhattan. in early 1979s for Saviors Day ! We traveled from Manhattan to the island via an Aerial Tramway. Amazing experience 🔥🙏🏾
I’m so used to the live versions with that heavier sound and the beautiful harmonies of the I-threes. Revisiting the album version is somewhat strange but I still quite like it
[Chorus] I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no, oh I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 1] Yeah, all around in my home town They're trying to track me down, yeah They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of a deputy For the life of a deputy But I say Oh, now, now, oh [Chorus] I shot the sheriff, the sheriff But I swear it was in self-defense, oh no Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah I say, I shot the sherriff, oh Lord And they say it is a capital offense, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah [Verse 2] Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what, I don't know Every time I plant a seed He said kill it before it grow He said kill them before they grow And so, and so Read it in the news [Chorus] I shot the sheriff, oh Lord But I swear it was in self-defense Where was the deputy? Ooh, ooh, ooh I say, I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self-defense, yeah Ooh-ooh [Verse 3] Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town, yeah All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown Aiming to shoot me down So I shot, I shot, I shot him down and I say If I am guilty I will pay (pay, pay, pay, pay, pay) [Chorus] I shot the sheriff But I say, but I didn't shoot no deputy I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no, ooh, ooh, ooh I shot the sheriff, I did But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 4] Reflexes had the better of me And what is to be must be Every day the bucket a-go a well One day the bottom a-go drop out One day the bottom a-go drop out [Outro] I say I-I-I, I shot the sheriff Lord, I didn't shot the deputy, no Yeah, I-I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah, so, yeah
Jesus Christ loves you no matter what he died for you on the cross accept Jesus Christ as you’re lord and savior and you will enter Gods kingdom and be saved from you’re sins ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit and you will be filled
I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no, oh I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah! All around in my home town They're tryin' to track me down, yeah They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of a deputy For the life of a deputy but I say Oh, now, now, oh I shot the sheriff (But I swear it was in self-defence) oh no, oh, oh, ooh Yeah, I say, I shot the sheriff oh, Lord (and they say it is a capital offence) Yeah, yeah! Hear that Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what, I don't know Every time I plant a seed He said kill it before it grow He said kill them before they grow, and so-and-so Read it in the news! oh, Lord! But I swear it was in self-defence Where was the deputy? (Ooh, ooh, ooh) I say, I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self-defence, yeah!

So really, anyone ever find out who shot the Deputy? Did the Sheriff do it, and then try to pin it on Bob, and that's why he was Aim'in to Shoot him Down? Thus causing the "self-defense" rational for Bob? Could someone ask AI to come up with a Part 2 of this song which explains what led up to this, and what happened after, and also include a relatable "life lesson" in the chorus?

I mean admitting to shooting the sheriff is a lofe sentence alone. We don't have to get him on thr deputy. I don't know why he's acting as his own counsel. I have a strange feeling he's really high.
It boggles my mind that a 27 year old Bob Marley came up with this - I do know the instrumentals are not his playing, but the lyrics, the beat and rythmn - I do rank this as the best of the Wailers' tunes and even my favourite Marley tune. The bass at the end is incredible!
Swear the end is my fav and when he say it im guilty I will pay but the bass at the end immaculate
Why does it boggle your mind? Have you never heard the works of a 25-year-old named Hendrix? 🤷🏻♂️
@@scottmisus4678love me some Hendrix, but every single Bob song is incredible. He’s one of the greatest musicians EVER
50 years ago today, the Wailers gifted this masterpiece to all of us.
To Peter, Bunny, and Bob, as well as Earl “Wire” Lindo and the Barrett brothers: Thank you for all that you gave to the world!
❤️💛💚🖤
Bob Marley and the Wailers did excellent on this song. Way better than Eric Clapton. Nobody can beat the original. Takes me back to my Jamaican roots.
When the song was released it was just "The Wailers" Peter and Bunny hadn't left yet.
Thanks for sharing this valuable information. 💖💖💖🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
screamin jay hawkins nailed it aswell nearly as good as Marley alot better then Clapton
Jesus Christ loves you no matter what ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit and you will be filled
Accept Jesus as you’re lord and savior and you will enter Gods kingdom of heaven pray it and believe it deep in you’re heart
The Bob Marley biopic movie brought me here. And I'm loving it
Same here.
Thinking critically about the lyrics heard in public brought me here.
Wassup biopic
I’m only 24 and I grew up on this song I 1st heard it when I was like 5 or 6
That Bassline at the end does something to a Brother...it's mean Jack!🤜🏽🤛🏽
brother im a cracker and me too
Bob Marley will not be forgotten he made his music change the dark side of the world rest in peace bob Marley
Ashton "family man" Barrett's sublime bassline rocks, so awesome, it turns an already great tune into a masterpiece
How about Carlton Barretts amazing percussions
@@stephenokeefe7068 That organic and almost natural eloquence between the drum and bass is sublime. I can listen to that last part over and over again.
I just saw the Bob Marley movie it was just a beautiful movie!! I heard stuff I’ve never heard before but yeah my favorite Marley songs are Could You Be Loved, Three Little Birds and Buffalo Soldier!!
The Barrett Brothers (bass guitar & drums) got to be 1 of the funkiest rhythm sections in history
I love all of Bob Marley's music, but this song is truly my favorite. 🤠
I go back my fmily home yaalll... be happy..dont skodeng2❤
Very cool 🆒 song 🎧
[22 November 2022] Perfect. Perfectly rockin', and more to the point, perfectly *scarifying* ; with the most brilliantly queasy, faintly off-kilter falsetto harmony backing vocals from Bunny Wailer (and possibly - astoundingly - from Peter Tosh, too).
I shot the sheriff was a song addressing police brutality and police misconduct
And racism. When he says “always hated me. For what, I don’t know.” He is of course making the audience guess that this is a racial thing
Mostly racism, and genocide.
Every time I plant a seed , he said “kill it before it grows , he said kill them before they grow”
To me, the meanings Express themselves more symbolically, it's taking authority into your own hands as the sheriff was clearly in violation
Why is this son so good bro
Thinking about old family barbecues and how they would blast Bob Marley music during them
Love, Honor and Respect to Bob Marley and the Wailers because the song is incredible and timeless masterpiece.
Oh man,the Beat the drums the rhythm,his singing ,all excellent and still on another level ❤️🔥perfect music .
Jesus Christ loves you no matter what he died on the cross for you
AskGod to fill you with the Holy Spirit and you will be filled
Love this song. I saw and heard Jimmy Cliff sing this at Randalls Island n Manhattan. in early 1979s for Saviors Day ! We traveled from Manhattan to the island via an Aerial Tramway. Amazing experience 🔥🙏🏾

I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no, ooh, ooh, ooh
I shot the sheriff, I did
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh

One day the bottom a-go drop out
One day the bottom a-go drop out

I-I-I, I shot the sheriff
Lord, I didn't shot the deputy, no

TOP A TOP ... MAKE NO JOKE ABOUT IT ... 🔥 !.
Bob said, what is to be must be. And he is right. Everything happens for a reason. If its your time, its your time.
Some time you can make it some one else's time, hope not.
Ren does an amazing job covering this song. Bob Marley was a prophet in my opinion. One Love
Follow Jesus before it’s to late
When I had the LP, I used to put the stylus back to hear that last riff repeatedly (from 3.42)
Many of us did that to dear :)
The Wailers ❤
We all can relate to Bob Marley and distinctive sounds of his Rhythmic Music..
Very great song from 51 years ago
I NEVER DRAINED ANY SWAMP BUT I STILL LOVE THIS JAM
That is an awesome song! Understamd it across divisional lines . The poor are the opressed. It aint about color or country or religion!
All around in my hometown
Theyre trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
Thank you All The Saints in Heaven.Glory to Our Kingdom Heaven ❤
Eric Clapton is a top 10, maybe top 5 guitarist ever to me. But he didn’t even come close to matching this version, let’s be real.
Whats up with everyone commenting the same thing? lol I dig the Clapton version too but BOB brought me here!
Bots
Best song ever
Bob Marley # 1
I’m 24 and I was 5 when I 1st head this masterpiece 🔥🥲
The parts that really get my attention:
1:42
From 2:32 to 2:38
It’s Bob’s song to be true, but Eric did an awesome job in his own style. Same song but completely different styles….
High for my self
Jamaican Outlaw at the Old West
Bob Marley he's the greatest singer in the universe, guaranteed✔.
Of course,Eric Clapton made this world famous-You gotta love the original version by the late great Bob Marley.
3:48

Who is here because you were alive when this song came out. 🙋♀️
Correction: saw Jimmy Cliff singing this song Early 1970s on Roosevelt Island via the Aerial Tramway.
I drained the swamp.
I would love to sample this song🔥🔊
YTP Friar's Rubbing Wood got me to recognize this song, has anyone else also been exposed by this track through that video?
Who's here from No Country For Old Men??? Great film
What is it about?
@@Sothus2It's about elderly men choosing to live in urban areas.
Bob wrote this song, Eric Clapton just copied it so it has to be better by the Master himself after all Bob was the best and still is.❤️🤩
Good Song
