I Shot The Sherif Lyrics

I shot the sherif
But I didn't shoot no deputy
Oh no ohh
I shot the sherif
But I didn't shoot no deputy
OOO ooo Oooo
YEAH

All around in my home town
they trying to track me down yeah
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killin of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
But I SAY

oh now now oh

I shot the sherif
(shot the sherif)
But I swear it was in self defense
(oh no)
Ooo ooo Ooo
(yeah)
I said I shot the sherif
(Oh Lord)
And they say it is a capital offense
(Oh now, yeah)
Ooo oooo OOo
(yeah)

Hear me
Sheriff John Brown alwauys hated me
For what, I don't know
Everytime I plant a seed
He say kill it before it grows
He say kill them before they grow
And so
AND SO

Read it in the news
I shot the sherif
But I swear it was in self defense
(where was the deputy)
I say I shot the sherif
But I swear it was in self defense yea
Oooo ooooo

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town yeah
All of a sudden I saw Sherif 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 sherif
But I didn't shoot no deputy
oh no oh
I shot the sherif
But I didn't shoot no deputy
OOoo ooo Oooo

Refelxes are the better of me
And what is the meaning of speed
Everyday, the bicket 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 sherif
Lord I didn't shot the deputy
Yeah
I, I, I shot the sherif
but I didn't shoot no deputy
