I Shot The Sheriff |
I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy. |
I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy. |
All around in my hometown, |
They’re tryin' to track me down. |
They say they want to bring me in guilty, |
For the killing of a deputy, |
For the killing of a deputy. |
But I say… |
I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy. |
I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy. |
Sheriff John Brown always hated me, |
For what I don’t know. |
Every time that I planted a seed, |
He said, «Kill it before it grow.» |
He said, «Kill them before it grow.» |
But I say… |
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defence. |
I shot the sheriff, and they say it was a capital offence. |
Reflexes got the better of me, |
And what is to be must be. |
Every day the bucket goes to the well, |
But one day the bottom will drop out |
Yeah, one day the bottom will drop out |
But I say… |
