๐ Lyrics
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Oh, no, no
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, ooh
All around in my hometown
They're tryin' to track me down
They say they want to bring I in guilty
For the life of a deputy, for the life of a deputy, now
But I say
Oh, I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It was I, I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offense
Ooh, ooh
Sheriff John Brown always hated
For what? I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He say, "Kill them before they grow"
He say, "Kill them before they grow", now
And so
And so
I shot the sheriff, love I didn't shoot no deputy
It was I, I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, ooh
You see freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah
Then, all of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
He was aiming to shoot I down
So I shot, oh yes I shot
I shot him down, yeah
And I say
Oh, I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Oh, no, no
It was, I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, ooh
Reflexes had the better of I
What is to be must be, yeah
Every day some bucket goes to the well
One day the bottom will drop out
One day the bottom a-go drop out
And so, yeah
And so
Read it in the news
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, ooh
Oh, no, no
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, ooh
All around in my hometown
They're tryin' to track me down
They say they want to bring I in guilty
For the life of a deputy, for the life of a deputy, now
But I say
Oh, I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It was I, I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offense
Ooh, ooh
Sheriff John Brown always hated
For what? I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He say, "Kill them before they grow"
He say, "Kill them before they grow", now
And so
And so
I shot the sheriff, love I didn't shoot no deputy
It was I, I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, ooh
You see freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah
Then, all of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
He was aiming to shoot I down
So I shot, oh yes I shot
I shot him down, yeah
And I say
Oh, I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Oh, no, no
It was, I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, ooh
Reflexes had the better of I
What is to be must be, yeah
Every day some bucket goes to the well
One day the bottom will drop out
One day the bottom a-go drop out
And so, yeah
And so
Read it in the news
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, ooh
