2015년 Royal Albert Hall 라이브 공연입니다.

70번째 생일 기념으로 블루레이로도 출시가 되었네요.

 

밥 말리의 원곡으로 10여년전 무한도전에서 하하가 자주 언급해서

국내에서도 인지도가 높아졌던 곡입니다.

 

대학에서 영문학 관련 교양 수업시간에

인종차별에 관한 주제에서 등장했던 노래입니다.

 

에릭클랩튼 라이브 묘미는 즉흥솔로연주에 있는데

이 노래에서는 마지막의 연주가 압권입니다.

같은 노래라도 들을때마다 달라 새로워요.

실제 현장에서 들으면 정말 가슴을 후벼판다는 느낌이 절로 듭니다.

이제 거의 70대 중반에 접어드는데 오래 사셨으면 합니다.

 

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.
