Below, you will find the lyrics for I Shot The Sheriff by Bob Marley.
(I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy, no
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
now, now
the sheriff
no ooh)
Yeah, I say, I shot the sheriff Lord
Yeah 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 Lord
Where was the deputy?
I say, I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense, yeah
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
but I say
I didn't shoot no deputy no
I did
But I didn't shoot no deputy
Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day 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
But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah
So, yeah
