Bob Marley Legend-best Of I Shot The Sheriff (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.) 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: Oh, now, now. oh! (i shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff. (but i swear it was in selfdefence.) Oh, no! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah! I say: i shot the sheriff - oh, lord! - (and they say it is a capital offence.) Yeah! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) 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: (i shot the sheriff.) oh, lord! (but i swear it was in self-defence.) Where was the deputy? (oo-oo-oh) I say: i shot the sheriff, But i swear it was in selfdefence. (oo-oh) 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. (i shot the sheriff,) But i say (but i didn't shoot no deputy), I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no! (i shot the sheriff.) i did! But i didn't shoot no deputy. oh! (oo-oo-ooh) 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. yeah! I - i (shot the sheriff) - But i didn't shoot no deputy, yeah! no, yeah! |
