i shoot the sheriff lyrics::I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
For the killing of a deputy, for the life of a deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in selfdefense.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.
He said, kill it before it grows.
He said, kill it before it grows.
I shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in self defense.
And i started out of town.
Aiming to shoot me down.
So i shot, i shot him down.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well, but one day the bottom will drop out, yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy, oh no.
