Who wrote 'I shot the sheriff'
Lyrics:
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, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! All around in my home town,
They're tryin' 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.
Bob Marley - released in 1973
(Eric Clapton did a famous cover of the song in 1974)
