[01:05.300] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[01:13.300] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[01:26.300] All around in my home town
[01:30.300] they're trying to track me down.
[01:35.300] They say they want to bring me in guilty
[01:39.300] for the killing of a deputy,
[01:44.300] for the life of a deputy.
[01:49.300] But I say
[01:56.300] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[02:06.300] I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[02:17.300] Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
[02:21.300] for what I don't know.
[02:26.300] Every time that I plant a seed
[02:30.300] he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[02:35.300] He said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[02:40.300] But I say
[02:47.300] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[02:56.300] I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[03:07.300] Freedom came my way one day
[03:12.300] and I started out of town.
[03:17.300] All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[03:22.300] aiming to shoot me down
[03:26.300] so I shot, I shot him down.
[03:31.300] But I say
[03:42.300] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:52.000] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[04:01.000] Reflexes got the better of me
[04:07.000] and what is to be, must be.
[04:11.000] Every day the bucket goes to well
[04:17.000] but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
[04:20.100] yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
[04:25.800] But I say
[04:31.800] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[04:40.800] I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
