I Shot The Sheriff
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
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 ¡
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in selfdefence
Oh, no!
I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offence
Ooh, ooh, oo-oh
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
But I swear it was in self-defence
Oo-oo-oh
I say: I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in selfdefence. (Oo-oh)
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 didn't shoot no deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy
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 shot the sheriff
I didn't shot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy
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
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 ¡
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in selfdefence
Oh, no!
I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offence
Ooh, ooh, oo-oh
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
But I swear it was in self-defence
Oo-oo-oh
I say: I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in selfdefence. (Oo-oh)
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 didn't shoot no deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy
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 shot the sheriff
I didn't shot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy
I shot the sheriff
