Song Lyrics
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! oh!
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! all around in my home town,
They're tryin' to track me down;
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say.
Oh, now, now. oh!
(I shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff.
(But I swear it was in selfdefence.)
Oh, no! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!
I say I shot the sheriff - oh, lord!
(And they say it is a capital offence.)
Yeah! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!
Sheriff john brown always hated me,
For what, I don't know
Every time I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill them before they grow.
And so.
Read it in the news
(I shot the sheriff.) oh, lord!
(But I swear it was in self-defence.)
Where was the deputy? (oo-oo-oh)
I say I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in selfdefence. (oo-oh) yeah!
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden I saw sheriff john brown
Aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot - I shot - I shot him down and I say
If I am guilty I will pay.
(I shot the sheriff,)
But I say (but I didn't shoot no deputy),
I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
(I shot the sheriff.) I did!
But I didn't shoot no deputy. oh! (oo-oo-ooh)
Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket a-go a well,
One day the bottom a-go drop out,
One day the bottom a-go drop out.
I say.
I - I - I - I shot the sheriff.
Lord, I didn't shot the deputy. yeah!
I - I (shot the sheriff)
But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah! no, yeah!
