[00:00.89]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:10.96]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[00:16.40]
[00:22.01]All around in my home town
[00:24.81]
[00:26.18]they're trying to track me down.
[00:29.05]
[00:31.05]They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:34.56]
[00:35.93]for the killing of a deputy,
[00:39.18]
[00:40.86]for the life of a deputy.
[00:44.17]
[00:45.10]But I say
[00:46.37]
[00:52.61]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[00:59.04]
[01:02.73]I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
[01:09.83]
[01:13.51]Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
[01:17.54]
[01:18.41]for what I don't know.
[01:21.64]
[01:23.27]Every time that I plant a seed
[01:27.54]
[01:28.10]he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:31.35]
[01:32.97]He said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
[01:36.61]
[01:37.67]But I say
[01:38.80]
[01:44.78]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[01:50.78]
[01:54.95]I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
[02:01.76]
[02:06.01]Freedom came my way one day
[02:08.70]
[02:10.76]and I started out of town.
[02:14.24]
[02:15.99]All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:19.61]
[02:21.42]aiming to shoot me down
[02:23.79]
[02:25.04]so I shot, I shot him down.
[02:28.78]
[02:30.03]But I say
[02:31.34]
[02:40.77]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:46.54]
[02:50.54]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[02:56.58]
[03:01.70]Reflexes got the better of me
[03:04.65]
[03:06.72]and what is to be, must be.
[03:09.34]
[03:11.52]Every day the bucket goes to well
[03:14.51]
[03:16.13]but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
[03:19.75]
[03:21.45]yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
[03:24.74]
[03:25.52]But I say
[03:27.08]
[03:32.58]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
[03:38.36]
[03:42.67]I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
