I SHOT THE SHERIFF

BOB MARLEY

Key:

I shot the sherif

But I didn't shoot the d eputy Oh No No

I shot the sherif

But I didn't shoot the d eputy Oh No No

All arou nd in my h ometown

They t rying to track me down

They s ay they wanna brin g me in guilty

For th e killing of a d eputy

For th e life of a deputy, but I say

À l'unisson :

I shot the sherif, but I swear it was in self-defense

I shot the sherif, and they say it is a capital offense

Sheriff john Brown always hated me, for what, I don't know

Every time I plant a seed, he say kill it before it grow

He say kill them before they grow and so...

I shot the sherif, but I swear it was in self-defense

I shot the sherif, and they say it is a capital offense

Freedom came my way one day, and I started out of town, yeah

all of a sudden I see sherif John Brown, aiming to shoot me down

So I shot, I shot, I shot him down and I say

(If I am guilty I will pay)

I shot the sherif

But I didn't shoot the deputy Oh No No

I shot the sherif

But I didn't shoot the deputy Oh No No

Reflexes had the better of me, but what is to be must be

Every day the bucket a-go-a-well, one day the bottom have a dropout

one day the bottom have a dropout, so I say...

I shot the sherif

But I didn't shoot the deputy Oh No No

I shot the sherif

But I didn't shoot the deputy Oh No No
