I Shot The Sheriff - Edited Version

I shot the sheriff
 But I didn't shoot no deputy
 Oh no, oh!
 I shot the sheriff
 But I didn't shoot no deputy
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
 Yeah!
 All around in my home town
 They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
 They say they want to bring me in guilty
 For the killing of a deputy
 For the life of a deputy
 But I say
 Oh, no, no, oh!
 (I shot the sheriff) The sheriff
 (But I swear it was in self defense)
 Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
 Yeah!
 I say
 I shot the sheriff, oh Lord!
 (And they say it is a capital offense) Oh no
 Yeah! (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
 Yeah!
 Yeah, the 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 so
 And so
 Read it in the news:
 (I shot the sheriff) Oh, Lord!
 (But I swear it was in self defense)
 Where was the deputy? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
 I say, I shot the sheriff
 But I swear it was in self defense, yeah!
 (Ooh)
 Freedom came my way one day
 And I started out of town, yeah
 All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
 Aiming to shoot me down
 So I shot, I shot, I shot him down and I say
 If I am guilty I will pay
 (I shot the sheriff)
 But I say (But I didn't shoot no deputy)
 I didn't shoot no deputy (Oh no, oh)
 (I shot the sheriff) I did!
 (But I didn't shoot no deputy) Oh!
 (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Yeah
 Reflexes had 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, I, I, I, shot the sheriff
 Lord, I didn't shot the deputy, no!
