[length: 05:25]
[00:09.74]I shot the sheriff
[00:10.84]But I didn’t shoot no deputy
[00:17.71]Oh, no, oh
[00:24.98]I shot the sheriff
[00:25.44]But I didn’t shoot no deputy
[00:25.79]Ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah
[00:26.24]All around in my hometown
[00:27.38]They’re tryin’ to track me down, yeah
[00:31.32]They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:35.86]For the killing of a deputy, for the life of a deputy
[00:45.45]But I say, oh, now, now…
[00:52.66]Oh, I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense
[00:58.72]Ooh, ooh, ooh
[01:01.95]I said, I shot the sheriff, Oh Lord
[01:05.44]And they say it is a capital offense
[01:09.72]Ooh, ooh, ooh
[01:11.34]Hear this
[01:12.30]Sheriff John Brown always hated me
[01:16.60]For what I don’t know
[01:21.42]Ev’ry time I plant a seed
[01:27.32]He said, “Kill it before it grows.”
[01:32.13]He said, “Kill them before they grow.”
[01:38.59]And so, oh, now, now
[01:42.79]Read it in the news
[01:44.97]I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense
[01:49.75]Where was the deputy? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[01:52.40]I said I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self defense
[02:00.44]Freedom came my way one day
[02:08.44]And I started out of town, yeah!
[02:13.76]All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
[02:18.79]Aiming to shoot me down
[02:22.78]So I shot, I shot, I shot him down
[02:27.81]And I say, if I am guilty I will pay
[02:38.10]I shot the sheriff, but I say, but I didn’t shoot no deputy
[02:45.66]Ooh, no, oh
[02:46.44]I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot no deputy
[02:54.50]Ooo, ooo, ooh
[02:57.99]Reflexes had the better of me
[03:02.13]And what is to be must be
[03:07.40]Ev’ry day the bucket a-go-a well
[03:12.77]One day the bottom a-go drop out
[03:18.20]One day the bottom a-go drop out
[03:22.97]I say, I, I, …
[03:28.39]I, I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy, no
