Songtext von I Shot The Sheriff

One, two, three, four... I shot the sheriff, But i did not shoot the deputy, oh no 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 But i say: I shot the sheriff, But i did not shoot the deputy, oh no I shot the sheriff, But i did not shoot the deputy 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 did not shoot the deputy, oh no I shot the sheriff, But i did not shoot the deputy Freedom came my way one day And i started out of town All of a sudden i saw sheriff john brown Aiming to shoot me down So i shot, i shot him down And i say And i say... I shot the sheriff, But i did not shoot the deputy, oh no I shot the sheriff, But i did not shoot the deputy Reflexes are the better of me And what is to be must be Every day the bucket goes to the well, One day the bottom will drop out, One day the bottom will drop out
