[00:01.00]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:09.00]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:22.00]All around in my home town
[00:26.00]they’re trying to track me down.
[00:31.00]They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:35.00]for the killing of a deputy,
[00:40.00]for the life of a deputy.
[00:45.00]But I say
[00:52.00]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:02.00]I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[01:13.00]Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
[01:17.00]for what I don’t know.
[01:22.00]Every time that I plant a seed
[01:26.00]he said, ’Kill it before it grows’.
[01:31.00]He said, ’Kill it before it grows’.
[01:36.00]But I say
[01:43.00]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:52.00]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[02:03.00]Freedom came my way one day
[02:08.00]and I started out of town.
[02:13.00]All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:18.00]aiming to shoot me down
[02:22.00]so I shot, I shot him down.
[02:27.00]But I say
[02:38.00]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:48.00]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:57.00]Reflexes got the better of me
[03:03.00]and what is to be, must be.
[03:07.00]Every day the bucket goes to well
[03:13.00]but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
[03:17.00]yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
[03:23.00]But I say
[03:29.00]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:38.00]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
