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 dirty guilty. For the life of a dirty guilty. But I say
I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self defence
I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence
Sheriff Jhon Brown always baited me For what I don't know Everytime 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 self defence I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self defence
Freedom came my way one day And I started of town then All of a sudden I see Sheriff Jhon 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 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 I say
I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy
