I Shot The Sheriff

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy

All around in my own town

They're trying 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

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy

Sheriff John Brown always hated me, what I don't know

Everytime that I plant a seed

He said, kill it before it grows

He said, kill them before they grow

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy

I shot the sheriff

But I did not shoot the deputy
