but I say
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
