I Shot the Sheriff
*I shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy
I Shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy
All around in my home town they're trying
To track me down
They say they to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy But I say
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was
In self defense,
I shot the sheriff, and they say
It is a capital offence,
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Ev'ry time that I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill it before it grow but I say
I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self defence
I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self defence
Freedom came my way one day and
I started out of town
All of a sudden I see Sheriff John Brown,
Aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot, I shot him down
But I say
I shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shoot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy
Refexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Ev'ry day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out
But I say
(Repeat*)
