Eric Clapton, "I Shot The Sheriff"
Misheard Lyrics:
Sheriff Johnson who has hated me
For what I don't know
Every time that I clanged a sea
He said killin' people ignorant
He said killin' people ignorant.
For what I don't know
Every time that I clanged a sea
He said killin' people ignorant
He said killin' people ignorant.
Original Lyrics:
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.'
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.'
