[00:01.79]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:11.22]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:17.59]
[00:22.26]All around in my home town
[00:25.63]
[00:26.51]they're trying to track me down.
[00:29.91]
[00:31.38]They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:35.11]
[00:36.01]for the killing of a deputy,
[00:39.47]
[00:40.95]for the life of a deputy.
[00:44.26]
[00:45.71]But I say
[00:47.45]
[00:52.38]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[00:58.85]
[01:02.38]I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[01:09.58]
[01:13.22]Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
[01:16.85]
[01:17.57]for what I don't know.
[01:20.87]
[01:22.09]Every time that I plant a seed
[01:25.83]
[01:27.19]he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:31.36]
[01:32.11]He said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:35.38]
[01:36.79]But I say
[01:39.11]
[01:43.99]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:49.85]
[01:53.12]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[02:00.01]
[02:03.48]Freedom came my way one day
[02:06.37]
[02:07.81]and I started out of town.
[02:11.23]
[02:13.38]All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:17.86]
[02:18.58]aiming to shoot me down
[02:21.43]
[02:22.73]so I shot, I shot him down.
[02:26.72]
[02:27.70]But I say
[02:29.21]
[02:37.89]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:44.38]
[02:47.88]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:54.30]
[02:58.28]Reflexes got the better of me
[03:01.15]
[03:02.91]and what is to be, must be.
[03:06.18]
[03:07.60]Every day the bucket goes to well
[03:11.84]
[03:13.01]but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
[03:16.53]
[03:17.79]yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
[03:21.33]
[03:21.96]But I say
[03:23.25]
[03:29.44]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:33.96]
[03:38.59]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
