Lyrics

[00:00.50] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:08.50] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:21.50] All around in my home town
[00:25.50] they're trying to track me down.
[00:30.50] They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:34.50] for the killing of a deputy,
[00:39.50] for the life of a deputy.
[00:44.50] But I say
[00:51.50] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:01.50] I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[01:12.50] Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
[01:16.50] for what I don't know.
[01:21.50] Every time that I plant a seed
[01:25.50] he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:30.50] He said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:35.50] But I say
[01:42.50] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:51.50] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[02:02.50] Freedom came my way one day
[02:07.50] and I started out of town.
[02:12.50] All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:17.50] aiming to shoot me down
[02:21.50] so I shot, I shot him down.
[02:26.50] But I say
[02:37.50] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:47.50] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:56.50] Reflexes got the better of me
[03:02.50] and what is to be, must be.
[03:06.50] Every day the bucket goes to well
[03:12.50] but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
[03:16.50] yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
[03:22.50] But I say
[03:28.50] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:37.50] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
