Verse 2:      Sheriff John Brown always hated me
              For what I don't know
              And every time that I plant a seed
              He said "kill it, before it grows"
              He said "kill it, before it grows"

Verse 3:      Freedom came my way one day
              And I started out of town there
              All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
              Aiming to shoot me down
              So I shot, I shot him down
              And I say, hey

Verse 4:      Reflexes got the better of me
              And what must 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,

Chorus 4 & 5: I shot the sheriff
              But I did not shoot the deputy
              I shot the sheriff
              But I did not shoot the deputy
