Track byEric Clapton
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy all around in my home 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 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 that I plant a seed he said, kill it before it grows he said kill it before it grows but I say I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy 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 see sheriff john brown aiming to shoot me down so I shot I shot him down but I say I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy reflexes got the better of me and what is to be must be every day the bucket goes to well one day the bottom wuill drop out yes one day the bottom will drop out but I say I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy
