about

Ever heard the tale of 56 Hope Road? The day Bob Marley was shot and survived... Messenger is the story, it's weird, crazy and true... Bob Marley went on to perform at the Smile Jamaica concert 2 days after being shot This is the story...

lyrics

56 bullets were fired that day
Gunmen trained by the CIA
Shower Posse boys from Tivoli,
Seaga’s men from the JLP
USA didn’t like Manley and election’s coming soon…

First they hit Rita in the head
Drivin’ out the gate lucky she ain’t dead
The band was in the backroom workin’ out horns
For I Shot the Sheriff, was a brand new sound!
Carly Barret shot off his throne Jumpy Tyrone dropped his trombone
Family Man tripped over his lead
Saved his life when he hit the ground…

You can shoot the messenger
You can shoot the messenger
You can shoot the messenger
But the message won’t go away

Bob was in the kitchen with Don and Diane
Spliff and a grapefruit in his hand
Don took three bullets,
Marley took two
But nobody died when all was through
Two days later, the Wailers band Played the Smile Jamaica just as planned
Couldn’t stop the Tuff Gong, no-sirree
The man had a message for you and me….
