《I Shot The Sheriff》歌词

[00:00:01] I shot the sheriff

[00:00:03] But I didn't shoot no deputy

[00:00:10] I shot the sheriff

[00:00:14] But I didn't shoot no deputy

[00:00:22] All around in my home town

[00:00:26] They're tryin' to track me down;

[00:00:31] They say they want to bring me in guilty

[00:00:36] For the killing of a deputy

[00:00:41] For the life of a deputy

[00:00:46] I say:

[00:00:53] I shot the sheriff

[00:00:57] But I swear it was in selfdefence

[00:01:04] I shot the sheriff

[00:01:07] (And they say it is a capital offence )

[00:01:15] Sheriff John Brown always hated me

[00:01:19] For what I don't know:

[00:01:25] Every time I plant a seed

[00:01:30] He said kill it before it grow -

[00:01:34] He said kill them before they grow

[00:01:39] And so:

[00:01:47] (I shot the sheriff )

[00:01:50] (But I swear it was in self-defence )

[00:01:57] I shot the sheriff

[00:02:01] But I swear it was in selfdefence

[00:02:09] Freedom came my way one day

[00:02:13] And I started out of town

[00:02:19] All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown

[00:02:24] Aiming to shoot me down

[00:02:28] So I shot

[00:02:30] I shot him down and I say:

[00:02:45] (I shot the sheriff )

[00:02:48] (But I didn't shoot no deputy)

[00:02:55] I shot the sheriff

[00:02:58] But I didn't shot the deputy

[00:03:06] Reflexes had got the better of me

[00:03:12] And what is to be must be:

[00:03:16] Every day the bucket a-go a well

[00:03:21] One day the bottom a-go drop out

[00:03:26] One day the bottom a-go drop out

[00:03:30] I say:

[00:03:38] I shot the sheriff

[00:03:41] But I didn't shot the deputy

[00:03:48] I shot the sheriff

[00:03:52] But I didn't shot the deputy
