All around in my hometown
They are trying to drag 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 said
It was I who shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense (hu, hu, hu)
It was I who shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offense (huh, uh)
Sheriff John Brown always hate I
For what, I don't know, now
Every time I plant a seed
He'll say kill them before they grow
He'll say kill them before they grow, now
And so
And so
Bye, bye, bye I shot the sheriff
Lord, I didn't shoot a deputy
It was I who shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy (huh, uh)
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah
And then all of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
He was aiming to shoot I down
So I, oh yes, I
I shot him down
And I said
If I am guilty I will pay
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy (hu, hu, hu)
It was I who shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy (huh, uh)
You see
Reflexes had the better of me
What is to be must be, yeah
Every day, the bucket goes to the well
And I mean, one day the bottom will drop out
And I say
One day the bottom will drop out
And so
They are trying to drag 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 said
It was I who shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense (hu, hu, hu)
It was I who shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offense (huh, uh)
Sheriff John Brown always hate I
For what, I don't know, now
Every time I plant a seed
He'll say kill them before they grow
He'll say kill them before they grow, now
And so
And so
Bye, bye, bye I shot the sheriff
Lord, I didn't shoot a deputy
It was I who shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy (huh, uh)
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah
And then all of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
He was aiming to shoot I down
So I, oh yes, I
I shot him down
And I said
If I am guilty I will pay
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy (hu, hu, hu)
It was I who shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy (huh, uh)
You see
Reflexes had the better of me
What is to be must be, yeah
Every day, the bucket goes to the well
And I mean, one day the bottom will drop out
And I say
One day the bottom will drop out
And so
