Lyrics I Shot the Sheriff - São Vicente , Cassandra Beck

I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy, ha ah ha
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy, ah ha ha
All around in my home town
Trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
And I say
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offense
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows"

But I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the Sheriff
But I swear it was in self-defense
