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
