I Shot The Sheriff (Feat Marlene)

I Shot The Sheriff - Sao Vicente

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy

Haaaa

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy

Haaa

All around in my own town

They're trying to track me down

They say they want to bring me guilty

For the killing of a deputy

For the life of a deputy

And I say

I shot the sheriff

But I swear it was in self defense

I shot the sheriff

And they say it is a capital offense

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 them before they grow

But I swear it was in self defense

I shot the sheriff

But I swear it was in self defense
