The Wailers - I Shot The Sheriff(1984)

[00:01.66] I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
[00:10.62] I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
[00:21.25] All around in my home town
[00:25.35] They're trying to track me down
[00:30.28] They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:34.97] For the killing of a deputy
[00:39.67] For the life of a deputy, but I say
[00:51.67] I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
[01:01.66] I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense
[01:11.93] Sheriff John Brown always hated me
[01:16.61] For what I don't know
[01:21.05] Every time that I plant a seed
[01:25.94] He said, "Kill it before it grows"
[01:30.98] He said, "Kill it before it grows", I say
[01:43.05] I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
[01:52.49] I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
[02:02.22] Freedom came my way one day
[02:07.28] And I started out of town
[02:12.13] All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:17.68] Aiming to shoot me down
[02:22.35] So I shot, I shot him down, I say
[02:36.53] I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
[02:47.37] I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
[02:56.97] Reflexes got the better of me
[03:01.85] And what is to be must be
[03:07.16] Every day the bucket goes to the well
[03:11.76] But one day the bottom will drop out
[03:17.05] Yes, one day the bottom will drop out, but I say
[03:28.46] I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no
[03:38.32] I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no
[03:53.29]
