Why didn't you shoot the deputy?!

cause B!.M!. (Bob Marley) said!.!.!.

(I shot the sheriff
But I didnt shoot no deputy, oh no! oh!
I shot the sheriff
But I didnt shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh!.)
Yeah! all around in my home town,
Theyre 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:

Oh, now, now!. oh!
(I shot the sheriff!.) - the sheriff!.
(but I swear it was in selfdefence!.)
Oh, no! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!
I say: I shot the sheriff - oh, lord! -
(and they say it is a capital offence!.)
Yeah! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!

Sheriff john brown always hated me,
For what, I dont know:
Every time I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow -
He said kill them before they grow!.
And so:

Read it in the news:
(I shot the sheriff!.) oh, lord!
(but I swear it was in self-defence!.)
Where was the deputy!? (oo-oo-oh)
I say: I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in selfdefence!. (oo-oh) yeah!

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 didnt shoot no deputy),
I didnt shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
(I shot the sheriff!.) i did!
But I didnt shoot no deputy!. oh! (oo-oo-ooh)

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!.
I say:

I - I - I - I shot the sheriff!.
Lord, I didnt shot the deputy!. yeah!
I - I (shot the sheriff) -
But I didnt shoot no deputy, yeah! no, yeah!Www@Enter-QA@Com
