Listen to Bob Marley I shot the sheriff song free!

Bob Marley - I shot the sheriff lyrics

I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, ooh.

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
But I swear it was in selfdefence
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

(Read it in the news)
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self-defence
(Where was the deputy?)
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in selfdefence

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 him down
and I say if I am guilty I will pay

Reflexes 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
