Lyrics I Shot The Sheriff - Live At The Lyceum, London/1975 - The Wailers , Bob Marley



(I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no, no, no)
(I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy)
All around in my hometown
They're tryin' to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the life of a deputy, for the life of a deputy
But I say
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense yeah
It was I who 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 them before they grow"
And so, and so
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shot no deputy
Because I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shot no deputy
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah
All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
He was aiming to shoot I know
So I shot, yes I shot, shot him down
And I say
Bye, bye, bye I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
It was I who shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Reflexes had the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goe's to the well
I say one day the bottom a-go drop out
One day the bottom will drop out
And so, and so
I really did, (I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy, oh no, no)
(I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no the deputy)
