I Shot The Sheriff - Original

I Shot The Sheriff - Original - I-Three

By by by

I shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! oh!

I shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.

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 swear

I swear

I shot the sheriff.

But I swear it was in selfdefence.

Du du du du du

I shot the sheriff

And they say it is a capital offence.

Yeah! du du du du du

Sheriff john brown always hated me,

For what, I don't know: (I don't know)

Every time I plant a seed,

He said kill it before it grow

He said kill them before they grow.

But I swear

I swear

Boy boy boy (boy)

Du du du du du

Du du du du du

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 I'm down,

So I shot yes I shot I shot him down

But I swear

I swear

If it was I'm shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot no deputy

Oh no no

I shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot no deputy

Oh no no no

Reflexes had got the better of me

And what is to be must be:

Every day the bucket goes to the well,

Tell me what

One day the bottom a-go drop out,

I mean One day the bottom will drop out.

I swear

I swear
