(I shot)
(The sheriff)

(But I didn't)
(Shoot no deputy)
(Oh no, oh)
(I shot)

(The sheriff)
(But I didn't)
(Shoot no deputy)

(Ooh ooh ooh)
All around in
My home town

They're tryin'
T0 track me down
They say they
Want to bring me

In guilty
For the
Killing of a

Deputy
For the life
Of a deputy

But I say...

Oh now, now

Sheriff John Brown
Always hated

Me
For what
I don't know

Every time
I'd plant a seed
He said,
Kill it before,

It grows
And so, and so
Read it in

The news
I said
I shot the

Sheriff
But I swear it
Was in

Self-defense
Yeah
Freedom came
My way one day

I started out
Out down there
All of the sudden
I saw Sheriff

John Brown
Aiming
To shoot me down
So I shot
I shot

I shot him down
And I say...
If I am
Guilty

I will pay!
But I say
I didn't shoot

No deputy, no
(I shot the)
(Sheriff)
(But I)
(Didn't shoot no)

(Deputy)
(Ooh ooh ooh)
ReHexes got the
Better of me
And what is
To be

Must be
Every day the
Bucket I pull

At well
But one day the
Bottom of...

Drop out
One day the
Bottom of...

Drop out
I said...
I, I, I
I shot the

Sheriff
Lord, I didn't
Shot the

Deputy
N0
Yeah, I...

(Shot the)
(Sheriff)
But I didn't shoot
No deputy

Yeah, oh yeah...
