I shot the sheriff but
I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff but

Idid not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff but

ldid not shoot the deputy
All around

in my home town

They're trying

to track me down
They say they want

to bring me in guilty

For the killing

of a deputy
For the life of a deputy

butlsay
I shot the sheriff but
I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff and they

say it is a capital offense
I swear it was in self-defense

lshot the sheriff and they

say it is a capital offense
lshot the sheriff and they

say it is a capital offense
Sheriff John Brown

always hated me

For what I don't know
Every time that l plant

a seed he said

For what I don't know
Every time that l plant

a seed he said

Kill it before it grows
He said

a seed he said

Kill it before it grows
I shot the sheriff but
I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff but

I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff but

I swear it was in self-defense
Freedom came

my way one day

And I started out

of town
All of a sudden

I see Sheriff John Brown

Aiming to shoot me down
I shot the sheriff but
I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff but

I didn't shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff but

I didn't shoot the deputy
Reflexes got the better of me

and what is to be must be

Every day the bucket

goes to the well
and what is to be must be

Every day the bucket

goes to the well
I shot the sheriff but

ldidn't shoot the deputy

Oh no no
I shot the sheriff but

ldid not shoot no deputy
Ohno
