I shot the sheriH
But I did not
Shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriht

But I didn't
Shoot the deputy
All around

In my hometown

They're trying
To frock me down
They say they wont to
Bring me in guilty

For the killing
Ot the deputy
For the life of the deputy
Well, I said

I shot the sheriII

But I swear
It was in self defense
I shot the sheriht

And they say

If is a capital offense
Sheriff John Brown

Always hated me
For what, I don't know
Every time
That I'd plant a seed

He said kill it

Before it grows
He said kill it

Before it grows, I say
I shot the sheriht

But I swear
It was in self defense
Freedom

Came my way one day
And I started out of there
A of a sudden
I see Sheriff John Brown
Aimin' to shoot me down

So I shot, I shot him down
I said
I shot the sheriht

But I did not
Shoot no deputy
I shot the sheriht

But I didn't
Shoot the deputy
Reflexes got
The beHer of me

And what

Is to he must be
Every day the bucket

Goes to ihe well

Buf one day
The boi1om will drop out
Yes, one day

The boiiom will drop out
And I say
I shot the sheriff
But I did n'i

Shoot the deputy
Woh no
I shot the sheriht

But I did not
Shoot no deputy, oh no
