; (I shot the sheriff
But I didnt shoot no deputy, oh no! oh!
I shot the sheriff
But I didnt shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! all around in my home town,
Theyre 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, now, now. oh!
(I shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff.
(but I swear it was in selfdefence.)
Oh, no! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!
I say: I shot the sheriff - oh, lord! -
(and they say it is a capital offence.)
Yeah! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!

Sheriff john brown always hated me,
For what, I dont 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.) oh, lord!
(but I swear it was in self-defence.)
Where was the deputy? (oo-oo-oh)
I say: I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in selfdefence. (oo-oh) 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 say (but I didnt shoot no deputy),
I didnt shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
(I shot the sheriff.) i did!
But I didnt shoot no deputy. oh! (oo-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 didnt shot the deputy. yeah!
I - I (shot the sheriff) -
But I didnt shoot no deputy, yeah! no, yeah!

Yo Le Dispare Al Sheriff
(I Shot The Sheriff)

Yo disparé al sheriff
pero no maté al ayudante, no

Yo disparé al sheriff
pero no maté al ayudante .....

Andan buscándome
Por toda la ciudad donde vivo
Dicen que quieren inculparme
por el asesinato de un ayudante.

(Pero yo digo)
Yo disparé al sheriff
pero juro que fue en defensa propia
Yo disparé al sheriff
Y ellos dicen que es una ofensa capital.

El sheriff John Brown siempre me odió
no sé por qué
cada vez que plantaba una semilla
él mandaba matarla antes de que creciera

( Léelo en los periódicos )
Yo diparé al sheriff
pero juro que fue en defensa propia
( ¿Dónde estaba el ayudante ?)
Yo disparé al sheriff
( pero juro que fue en defensa propia )

La libertad vino a mi encuentro un día
y me fui de la ciudad,
pero rápidamente vi al sheriff Joan Brown
tratando de matarme
así que yo disparé, le disparé, y digo
si soy culpable ya pagaré.
