I Shot The Sheriff
I shot the sheriff But I did not kill the deputy No no no no I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy I'm telling you so All around in my home town, They are trying 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 selfdefence. I gotta protect myself, you know? I shot the sheriff But they say it was a capital offence Sheriff John Brown always hated me, For what, I don't know Every time that I planted a seed, He said kill it before it grows He said kill it before they grows But I say I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in selfdefence. And im not lying either I shot the sheriff I repeat, I gotta tell you again it was in selfdefence. Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town! All of a sudden I see the sheriff John Brown With his pistol planning to shoot me down So I shot him - I mean I shot him down but I say I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But i did not shoot the deputy Reflexition got the better of me And what used to be must be: Every day the bucket a goes to a well, One day the bottom will drop out, I repeat One day the bottom will drop out. But I say Look out for the archie (I shot the sheriff) Look out for the FBI (I shot the sheriff) Look out whats going on in the yard And he comes jonhson ktp Jonhdon got a baseball bat With all his problems too Dont like my brutal And y'all made friends with China Watch iut for the northwest monopolis Shoot him Yo yo yo yo yo yo yooooo Give me my double barrel shot gun Let me blow his brain out of his head Let me step on his grave with big al fat toe I shot the sheriff I lose my breath I got no run All his got guns I cant go fast They want to kick my knee Oh i shot the sheriff What can i see I shot the sherrif it's the end of me Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
