Lyrics

[00:00.760] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:10.680] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:17.170]
[00:21.660] All around in my home town
[00:25.850] they're trying to track me down.
[00:30.720] They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:35.580] for the killing of a deputy,
[00:39.450]
[00:40.510] for the life of a deputy.
[00:44.750] But I say
[00:47.310]
[00:52.120] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[00:59.110]
[01:02.240] I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[01:10.150]
[01:13.270] Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
[01:17.760] for what I don't know.
[01:22.750] Every time that I plant a seed
[01:27.430] he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:32.360] He said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:36.670] But I say
[01:37.850]
[01:44.100] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:53.950] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[02:05.500] Freedom came my way one day
[02:09.740] and I started out of town.
[02:14.920] All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:20.340] aiming to shoot me down
[02:24.200] so I shot, I shot him down.
[02:29.200] But I say
[02:32.760]
[02:39.620] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:49.360] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:00.410] Reflexes got the better of me
[03:05.460] and what is to be, must be.
[03:10.190] Every day the bucket goes to well
[03:13.500]
[03:14.950] but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
[03:18.310]
[03:19.800] yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
[03:23.500]
[03:24.600] But I say
[03:31.400] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:41.200] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:47.200]
