I Shot The Sheriff lyrics with English Translations
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy, yeah - no, no
Said I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy, yeah - no, no
All around in my home town They are trying to track me down They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of the deputy For the life of the deputy But I'll say it, say it
I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in selfdefence - yeah, yeah I shot the sheriff And they say it is a capital offence
Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what I don't know Every time I plant a seed He said kill it, before it grow He said kill them before they grow And I'll say it, say it Yeah - let me tell you again
I shot the sheriff Shot him down, to the ground Without no mercy, ooh yeah Said I shot him down Didn't worry me, no, no, no Oh no, no, no
Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town All of a sudden, I saw sheriff John Brown So I shot - I shot him down Yes I shot, I shot the sheriff But I'll say it, say it Do you hear me, do you hear me Talking out a little bit louder
I shot the sheriff And Is hot him down on the ground, yeah Good Lord! Take out my .45 And I shot him, I shot him down, good Lord Why you know something..
All around in my home town They are trying to track me down They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of the deputy For the life of the deputy But I'll say it, say it
I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in selfdefence - yeah, yeah I shot the sheriff And they say it is a capital offence
Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what I don't know Every time I plant a seed He said kill it, before it grow He said kill them before they grow And I'll say it, say it Yeah - let me tell you again
I shot the sheriff Shot him down, to the ground Without no mercy, ooh yeah Said I shot him down Didn't worry me, no, no, no Oh no, no, no
Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town All of a sudden, I saw sheriff John Brown So I shot - I shot him down Yes I shot, I shot the sheriff But I'll say it, say it Do you hear me, do you hear me Talking out a little bit louder
I shot the sheriff And Is hot him down on the ground, yeah Good Lord! Take out my .45 And I shot him, I shot him down, good Lord Why you know something..
