Текст песни I Shot The Sheriff

(Оh, оh, оh-оh-оh).
(I shot the sheriff)
(Оh, оh, оh-оh-оh).
All around in my home town,
They're tryin' 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. Oh! la!
But I swear it was in self-defence.
I shot the sheriff! (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.

I shot the sheriff. Oh! la!
But I swear it was in self-defence.
I shot the sheriff! Oh! la!
And they say it is a capital offence.
All around

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah! Yannick Noah - I Shot The Sheriff - http://ru.motolyrics.com/yannick-noah/i-shot-the-sheriff-lyrics.html
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot, I shot him down.

I am not guilty.

I shot the sheriff.
And they say it is a capital offence.

Reflex had got the better of me
And what is to be must be:
Every day the bucket a-go a well,
One day the bottom a-go drop out,
One day the bottom a-go drop out.
I say

(I shot the sheriff.)
I shot the sheriff.
(But I swear it was in self-defence.)
All around
I shot the sheriff.
(But I swear it was in self-defence.)
I say: I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in selfdefence. (Oo-oh) Yeah!

(I shot the sheriff,)
But I say (But I didn't shoot no deputy),
I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
