[Riff 2x]I shot the sheriffBut I did not shoot the deputyAll around in my old townThey're trying to track me downThey say they want to bring me in guiltyFor the killing of a deputyFor the life of a deputy[Refrão]But I say: RIFF[Refrão]I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputyI shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy[Próxima Parte]But I say: RIFFSheriff John Brown always hated meFor what I don't knowEvery time that I plant a seedHe said "Kill it before it grows"He said "Kill it before it grows"But I say: RIFFI shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defenseI shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offenseFreedom came my way one dayAnd I started out of townAll of a sudden I see sheriff John BrownAiming to shoot me downSo I shot, I shot him down[Próxima Parte]Reflexes got the better of meAnd what is to be must beEvery day the bucket falls to the wellBut one day the bottom will drop outYes, one day the bottom will drop out
