(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, ooh)

Yeah, 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

Oh, now, now, oh
(I shot the sheriff) the sheriff
(But I swear it was in self defense) oh, no (oh, oh, ooh)
Yeah, I say, I shot the sheriff oh, Lord
(and they say it is a capital offense)
Yeah! (oh, oh, ooh) 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) oh, Lord
(But I swear it was in self-defense)
Where was the deputy? (oh, oh, ooh)
I said, I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense, yeah (ooh)

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 (′Cause I didn′t shoot no deputy)
I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh) oh no
(I shot the sheriff) I did
But I didn′t shoot no deputy, oh (oh, oh, ooh)

Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Everyday 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, no
I, I (shot the sheriff)
But I didn′t shoot no deputy, yeah
So, yeah

Reggae

But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, ooh)

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 defense, yeah (ooh)

So I shot, I shot, I shot him down and I say

But I say ('Cause I didn't shoot no deputy)

I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh) oh no

But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh (oh, oh, ooh)
