[00:03.72]I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
[00:09.88]I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
[00:20.35]All around in my home town
[00:25.65]They're trying to track me down
[00:30.43]They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:34.99]For the killing of a deputy
[00:40.39]For the life of a deputy, but I say
[00:52.10]I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
[01:01.99]I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense
[01:12.12]Sheriff John Brown always hated me
[01:17.19]For what I don't know
[01:22.93]Every time that I plant a seed
[01:27.56]He said, "Kill it before it grows"
[01:32.33]He said, "Kill it before it grows", I say
[01:44.16]I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
[01:54.09]I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
[02:04.02]Freedom came my way one day
[02:09.51]And I started out of town
[02:15.04]All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:19.36]Aiming to shoot me down
[02:24.49]So I shot, I shot him down, I say
[02:39.94]I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
[02:49.70]I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
[03:00.51]Reflexes got the better of me
[03:05.53]And what is to be must be
[03:10.62]Every day the bucket goes to the well
[03:15.53]But one day the bottom will drop out
[03:20.67]Yes, one day the bottom will drop out, but I say
[03:31.75]I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no
[03:41.54]I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no
