[00:01.54] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:11.38] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:17.12]
[00:22.30] All around in my home town
[00:25.22]
[00:26.35] they're trying to track me down.
[00:29.16]
[00:31.34] They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:34.46]
[00:35.96] for the killing of a deputy'
[00:38.84]
[00:40.95] for the life of a deputy.
[00:43.70]
[00:45.75] But I say
[00:47.01]
[00:52.56] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[00:58.48]
[01:02.53] I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[01:09.10]
[01:13.21] Sheriff John Brown always hated me'
[01:16.14]
[01:17.52] for what I don't know.
[01:20.26]
[01:22.38] Every time I plant a seed
[01:25.38]
[01:27.06] he said' 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:30.52]
[01:32.08] He said' 'Kill them before they grows'.
[01:35.33]
[01:36.77] and so and so
[01:40.01]
[01:43.88] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:49.50]
[01:52.99] I say I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:59.73]
[02:03.85] Freedom came my way one day
[02:06.29]
[02:08.16] and I started out of town.
[02:10.96]
[02:13.65] All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
[02:17.89]
[02:19.08] aiming to shoot me down
[02:21.33]
[02:23.01] so I shot' I shot I shot him down.
[02:26.63]
[02:27.36] amd I say if I am in guilty I will pay
[02:35.39]
[02:38.51] I shot the sheriff but I say but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:43.82] I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:46.07]
[02:48.23] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:54.05]
[02:58.22] Reflexes I got the better of me
[03:01.04]
[03:03.10] and what is to be' must be.
[03:05.96]
[03:07.84] Every day the bucket goes to well
[03:11.58]
[03:13.27] but one day the bottom wuill drop out'
[03:16.52]
[03:18.37] one day the bottom will drop out.
[03:21.23]
[03:22.25] I say
[03:23.19]
[03:28.69] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:34.21]
[03:39.29] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
