Lyrics

All around in my old town They're trying to track me down They say they want me in and guilty For the life of a deputy For the life of a deputy But I say I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy Sheriff John Brown always sent to me For why I don't know Every time I planted a seed He says "kill them before they grow" He says "kill them before they grow" So, oh, oh, oh I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense Yes, I shot the sheriff, yeah, and they say it is a capital offense Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town, yeah And all of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown He was aiming to shoot I down So I shot, I did it, I shot, shot him down And so, oh, oh, oh I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy No, no, no, yeah I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy Reflexes are the better of me And what is to be must be Every day the bucket goes to the well And I say, one day the bucket will drop out, yeah One day the bucket will drop out Oh, oh, oh, oh
