Lyrics I Shot the Sheriff

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy

All around in my hometown 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

But I say

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

I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offense

Sheriff John Brown always hated me

For what? I don't know

And every time that I plant a seed

He said kill it before it grows he said kill it before it grows

I say

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

Freedom came my way one day

And I started out of town, yeah

All of a sudden

I see Sheriff John Brown

Aiming to shoot me down so I shot, I shot him down

I say

I shot the sheriff but I did not 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

But one day the bottom will drop out

Yes one day the bottom will drop out

I say

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy oh no, oh

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot no deputy oh no
