I Shot The Sheriff (feat. Eric Clapton)

All around in my hometown They are tryin' to track me down Say they want to bring I in guilty For the life of a deputy For the life of a deputy now And so Oh, now, now

I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy It was I who shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy, no

Sheriff John Brown did not like me For what, I don't know But every time I plant a seed He'd say, "Kill them before they grow" He'd say, "Kill them before they grow now" And so And so

I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy (oh, no, no) It was I who shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy There was the deputy

I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no, no) It was I who shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy There was a deputy

So freedom came my way one day And I started out of town, yeah When then all of a sudden, I saw sheriff John Brown He was aiming to shoot me down So I shot, yes, I shot, I shot him down And so Pie, pie, pie

I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy, oh, oh, no (oh, no, no) It was I who shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy No, and so

Reflexes have the better of me And then, what is to be must be, yeah If every day the bucket goes to the well Me say, "One day that bottom will drop out" I say, "One day that bottom will drop out," yeah And so, here And so Read it in the news
