I Shot the Sheriff Songtext
von Jeff Liberman

I shot the sheriff but I didn′t shoot the deputy, oh no
All around in my hometown
They're tryin′ to track me down
(They say) They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
And I say


Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown aimin' to shoot me down
And I had to shoot him down

And I say
I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no, hey yeah
I shot the sheriff
