I shot the deputy
People don't believe I did
The sheriff is back in town
You gotta pray for me
They wanna kill me now
I shot the deputy
But he killed much more than me
The sheriff is by his side
You gotta rescue me
They wanna arrest me now
Black dog howl
I'm every kind of pollution
I shot the deputy
And I'm gonna stay right here
To see what happens now
You gotta pay to see
They wanna buy me anyhow
I shot the deputy
And stole his money too
He stole my money first
I just took it back
They wanna kill me now
