Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff

Bob Marley

I Shot The Sheriff

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, ooh Yeah

All around in my hometown
They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
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, but I swear it was in self defense
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I said, I shot the sheriff, Oh Lord
And they say it is a capital offense
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Hear this

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Ev'ry time I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows."
He said, "Kill them before they grow."

And so, oh, now, now,
Read it in the news

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Where was the deputy?
I said I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self defense

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
Ooh, no, oh
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooo, ooo, ooh

Reflexes had the better of me
And what is to be must be
Ev'ry 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, but I didn't shoot the deputy, no
(Repeat)

Mirror lyrics:

(Repeat)
I, I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy, no

I say, I, I, ...
One day the bottom a-go drop out
One day the bottom a-go drop out
Ev'ry day the bucket a-go-a well
And what is to be must be
Reflexes had the better of me

Ooo, ooo, ooh
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, no, oh
I shot the sheriff, but I say, but I didn't shoot no deputy

And I say, if I am guilty I will pay
So I shot, I shot, I shot him down
Aiming to shoot me down
All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
And I started out of town, yeah!
Freedom came my way one day

I said I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self defense
Where was the deputy?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense

Read it in the news
And so, oh, now, now,

He said, "Kill them before they grow."
He said, "Kill it before it grows."
Ev'ry time I plant a seed
For what I don't know
Sheriff John Brown always hated me

Hear this
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And they say it is a capital offense
I said, I shot the sheriff, Oh Lord
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense

But I say, oh, now, now...
For the killing of a deputy, for the life of a deputy
They say they want to bring me in guilty
They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
All around in my hometown

Ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Oh, no, oh
shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
