Bob You Did Yu Job - Jimmy Cliff

Many things have been said about you,
some false, some true
Not because everyone is saying why I'm saying too
What I have to say needs to be said, because it's true

You gave the people in your song the essence of the truth
Your passage through this life
Was a great big gift to humanity
And I reference you really and truly
Oh Bob Marley Bob yu did yu job,
yow-yow-yow-yow Bob yu did yu job,
yow-yow-yow-yow Bob yu did yu job,
yow-yow-yow-yow Brother Bob yu did yu job,
yoga-yoga-yow-yow

Touch the hearts of so many people, specially the grass-roots
And you made so many disciple while you touch mine too
More than anyone in this century and I can name a few:
More than Beatles and Beach Boys and Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones
Yes, and even more than mega star Michael Jackson
Bob yu did yu job, yow-yow-yow-yow
Bob yu did yu job, yow-yow-yow-yow
Bob yu did yu job, yow-yow-yow-yow
Brother Bob yu did yu job,
yoga-yoga-yow-yow

Then your spirit all the singers and players of music of today
A higher inspiration might we had in yesterday
You were a saint who never depart from the normal way
Of true reggae, reggae philosophy
Bob yu did yu job, yow-yow-yow-yow
Bob yu did yu job, yow-yow-yow-yow
Bob yu did yu job (a true), yow-yow-yow-yow
Brother Bob yu did yu job (true),
yocka-yocka-yow-yow

Your passage through this life
Was a great big gift (a true) to humanity
And I reference you really and truly Brother Bob Marley
Brother Bob yu did yu job (a true), yoga-yoga-yow-yow
Brother Bob yu did yu job (true), yow-yow-yow-yow
Brother Bob yu did yu job (a true), yoga-yoga-yow-yow
Brother Bob yu did yu job (true)...
