[00:00.92]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:10.46]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:21.40]All around in my home town
[00:25.58]they're trying to track me down.
[00:29.57]
[00:30.70]They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:35.76]for the killing of a deputy,
[00:40.39]for the life of a deputy.
[00:45.01]But I say
[00:52.07]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:01.96]I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[01:13.35]Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
[01:18.16]for what I don't know.
[01:22.98]Every time that I plant a seed
[01:27.60]he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:32.60]He said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:37.72]But I say
[01:39.16]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:54.10]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[02:01.60]Freedom came my way one day
[02:10.18]and I started out of town.
[02:13.18]All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:20.19]aiming to shoot me down
[02:24.68]so I shot, I shot him down.
[02:30.56]But I say
[02:40.49]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:49.88]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:01.25]Reflexes got the better of me
[03:06.44]and what is to be, must be.
[03:10.63]Every day the bucket goes to well
[03:16.00]but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
[03:20.93]yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
[03:25.44]But I say
[03:29.13]
[03:32.25]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
