Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
Ah, ah, ah
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of the deputy
[Verse 3]
And I say
[Verse 4]
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense
I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offense
[Verse 5]
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He said kill it before it grows
He said kill them before they grow
[Verse 6]
But I swear it was in self defense
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense
