Bob You Did Yu Job

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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)...
