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 oo-ooh.)

Yeah! all around in my home town

They're tryin' 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.

But i say:

Oh now now. oh!

(i shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff.

(but i swear it was in selfdefence.)

Oh no! (ooh ooh oo-oh) yeah!

I say: i shot the sheriff - oh lord! -

(and they say it is a capital offence.)

Yeah! (ooh ooh oo-oh) yeah!

Sheriff john brown always hated me

For what i don't know:

Every time i plant a seed

He said kill it before it grow -

He said kill them before they grow.

And so:

Read it in the news:

(i shot the sheriff.) oh lord!

(but i swear it was in self-defence.)

Where was the deputy? (oo-oo-oh)

I say: i shot the sheriff

But i swear it was in selfdefence. (oo-oh) yeah!

Freedom came my way one day

And i started out of town yeah!

All of a 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.

(i shot the sheriff)

But i say (but i didn't shoot no deputy)

I didn't shoot no deputy (oh no-oh) oh no!

(i shot the sheriff.) i did!

But i didn't shoot no deputy. oh! (oo-oo-ooh)

Reflexes had got the better of me

And what is to be must be:

Every day the bucket a-go a well

One day the bottom a-go drop out

One day the bottom a-go drop out.

I say:

I - i - i - i shot the sheriff.

Lord i didn't shot the deputy. yeah!

I - i (shot the sheriff) -

But i didn't shoot no deputy yeah! no yeah!
