[00:00.760]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:10.680]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:17.170]
[00:21.660]All around in my home town
[00:25.850]they're trying to track me down.
[00:30.720]They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:35.580]for the killing of a deputy,
[00:39.450]
[00:40.510]for the life of a deputy.
[00:44.750]But I say
[00:47.310]
[00:52.120]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[00:59.110]
[01:02.240]I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[01:10.150]
[01:13.270]Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
[01:17.760]for what I don't know.
[01:22.750]Every time that I plant a seed
[01:27.430]he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:32.360]He said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:36.670]But I say
[01:37.850]
[01:44.100]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:53.950]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[02:05.500]Freedom came my way one day
[02:09.740]and I started out of town.
[02:14.920]All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:20.340]aiming to shoot me down
[02:24.200]so I shot, I shot him down.
[02:29.200]But I say
[02:32.760]
[02:39.620]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:49.360]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:00.410]Reflexes got the better of me
[03:05.460]and what is to be, must be.
[03:10.190]Every day the bucket goes to well
[03:13.500]
[03:14.950]but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
[03:18.310]
[03:19.800]yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
[03:23.500]
[03:24.600]But I say
[03:31.400]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:41.200]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
