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 want 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
selfdefense
I shot the sheriff
and they say it is
a capital offense
Sheriff John Brown
always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time
that I plant a seed
He said Kill it
before it grows
He said Kill it
before it grows I say
I shot the sheriff
but I swear it was in
selfdefense
I shot the sheriff
but I swear it was in
selfdefense
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 I say
I shot the sheriff
but I did not
shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
but I did not
shoot the deputy
Reflexes got
the better of me
And what is to
be must be
Every 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
I shot the sheriff
but I did not
shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
but I did not
shoot the deputy
