I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy,
Oh, no!!!...
Oh!!!...
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy,
Oh!!! oh!!! oh!!!...

All around in my hometown
They're tryin' to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy. But I say...

Oh, no!!! no!!!
Oh!!!...

I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence.
Oh, no!!!...
Yeah!!!...
I say; I shot the sheriff,
Oh, Lord!!!
And they say it is a capital offence.
Yeah!!!

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what... I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill them before they grow.
And so.

Read it in the news.

I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self defence.
Where was the deputy...
I said I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self defence.
Oh!!! oh!!! oh!!!

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town,
Yeah!!!
All of a sudden I saw Sheriff 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 sheriff,
But I say...
But I didn't shoot no deputy,
I didn't shot no deputy...
Oh, no!!!
Oh!!!
I shot the sheriff,
But I didn't shoot no deputy.
Oh!!! oh!!! oh!!!

Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket a go a well
One day the bottom a go drop out
One day the bottom a go drop out.

I say...

I, I, I, I shot the sheriff,
Lord, I didn't shot the deputy.
Yeah!!!
I, I...
Shot the sheriff...
But I didn't shoot no deputy.
Yeah!!!
So, yeah!!!
