I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff but I did 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 life of a deputy,

for the life of a deputy.

But I say

I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
I swear it was in self-defence.

It was I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.

Sheriff John Brown always hated me,

for what I don't know.

Every time that I plant a seed

he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.

He said, 'Kill it before it grows'

I'm so I'm so

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

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

Freedom came my way one day

and I started out of town.

All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
he was aiming to shoot I down

so I shot,yes I shot shot him down.

and I say

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

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

Reflexes got the better of me

and what is to be, must be.

Every day the bucket goes to the well

I say but one day the bottom wuill drop out,

one day the bottom will drop out.

and so and so

But I say

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

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