[00:26.91] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:38.30] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:44.85]
[00:50.71] All around in my home town
[00:53.34]
[00:55.40] they're trying to track me down.
[00:58.64]
[01:01.08] They say they want to bring me in guilty
[01:04.71]
[01:06.77] for the life of a deputy,
[01:09.70]
[01:12.44] for the life of a deputy.
[01:15.60]
[01:17.05] But I say
[01:18.11]
[01:23.90] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:29.90] I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:32.65]
[01:34.59] It was I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[01:42.40]
[01:47.33] Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
[01:50.95]
[01:53.38] for what I don't know.
[01:55.31]
[01:57.61] Every time that I plant a seed
[02:00.93]
[02:02.87] he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[02:06.50]
[02:08.20] He said, 'Kill it before it grows'
[02:12.13]
[02:13.44] I'm so I'm so
[02:17.14]
[02:20.13] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:26.75]
[02:31.31] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:37.11] I did not shoot the deputy
[02:39.23]
[02:42.60] Freedom came my way one day
[02:45.33]
[02:47.40] and I started out of town.
[02:51.13]
[02:53.44] All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
[02:58.50] he was aiming to shoot I down
[03:01.93]
[03:03.48] so I shot,yes I shot shot him down.
[03:07.84]
[03:08.85] and I say
[03:09.95]
[03:15.95] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:21.25]
[03:26.99] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:32.92]
[03:37.84] Reflexes got the better of me
[03:40.99]
[03:43.23] and what is to be, must be.
[03:46.80]
[03:48.79] Every day the bucket goes to the well
[03:52.72]
[03:53.61] I say but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
[03:58.09]
[04:00.50] one day the bottom will drop out.
[04:03.50]
[04:04.49] and so and so
[04:07.93]
[04:09.43] But I say
[04:10.30]
[04:10.87] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[04:17.05]
[04:21.85] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
