I Shot the Sheriff
Eric 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 swear it was in self-defense. I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense. 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." I say: I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense. I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense. 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. 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 the well, But one day the bottom will drop out, Yes, one day the bottom will drop out. 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, oh no.1982 70s ana anything else artist - favourite song Awesome Guitar Jams blues blues rock bob marley cover british calm clapton classic classic rock classick rock cool covers country rock cover cover songs covers crisbr71 elite mp3 playlist Enchilada eric clapton favorite songs favorites favourite Favourites Forever Cool frdalton gimme the groove greatest hits guitar heavy hellaswell keyboards male vocalists megum852 melek mobydoc old old school oldies personnel pop pop rock Reaggerock reggae Required Listening rock Rock and Roll singer-songwriter sopranos sun is shining Taking no shit from the man Time Pieces top 2000 top artists us number one violence
