Keep On MovingUB40

Released: September 12, 1983

Songwriter: Bob Marley

Producer: Ray “Pablo” Falconer UB40

Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Lord, I gotta get on down
Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Where I can't be found
Law, they coming after me

I've been accused of a killing
Lord knows, I didn't do
For hanging me, they are willing
That's why I gotta get on through
Law, they coming after me

Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Lord, I gotta get on down
Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Where I can't be found
Law is coming after me

I've got two boys and a woman
They're just gonna suffer now
Lord forgive me for not going back
But I'll be there anyhow
I'll be there anyhow

Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Lord, I gotta get on down
Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Where I can't be found
Law is coming after me

Now maybe someday I'll find a piece of land
Somewhere not by or near anyone
Then I'll send for my love, love, love sweet woman
And my two grown up sons
My two grown up sons

Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Lord, I gotta get on down
Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Where I can't be found
Law is coming after me

Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Lord, I gotta get on down
Lord, I gotta keep on moving
Where I can't be found
Law is coming after me

UB40

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
