I shot the sheriff
(shot him down)
I shot the sheriff
Shot him down
Shot him down
I shot the sheriff
Shot him down
Shot him down
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
I shot the sheriff
Shot him down
Shot him down
I shot the sheriff
Shot him down
Shot him down
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
I shot the sheriff
Shot him down
Shot him down
I shot the sheriff
Shot him down
Shot him down
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
Down down down
Down down down
Down down
I I I
I I I
I shot the sheriff
I shot the sheriff
(Shot him down)
I SHOT the sheriff
(Shot him down)
I shot the sheriff
I shot the sheriff
I shot the sheriff
I shot the sheriff
