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

All around in my home town,
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...

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 it grow. And so:

(Read it in the news!)

I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self-defence. (Oh, no! Yeah!)
I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self-defence. (Oh, no! Yeah!)

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

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!

One Love! One Heart!
Let's get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin' (One Love!);
Hear the children cryin' (One Heart!),
Sayin': give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Sayin': let's get together and feel all right. Wo wo-wo wo-wo!

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love!);
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart!):
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One Love! What about the one heart? One Heart!
What about - ? Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love!);
So shall it be in the end (One Heart!),
All right!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
One more thing!

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One Love!),
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One Song!).
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner;
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

Sayin': One Love! What about the One Heart? (One Heart!)
What about the - ? Let's get together and feel all right.
I'm pleadin' to mankind! (One Love!);
Oh, Lord! (One Heart) Wo-ooh!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right
