[Chorus]
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy
[Verse 1]
All around in my home town
They're 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
[Chorus]
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offense
[Verse 2]
Sheriff John Brown always hated me, for what? I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed, he said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
I say
[Chorus]
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy
[Verse 1]
All around in my home town
They're 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
[Chorus]
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offense
[Verse 2]
Sheriff John Brown always hated me, for what? I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed, he said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
I say
[Chorus]
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
