【歌词】Shot / 歌手：TheRasmus

i shot the sheriff

i shot the sheriff

i shot the sheriff but i did not shoot the deputy.

i shot the sheriff but i did not shoot the deputy.

all around in my home town

they‘re trying 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 self-defence.

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 that i plant a seed

he said, ‘kill it before it grows‘.

he said, ‘kill it before it grows‘.

but i say

i shot the sheriff but i swear it was in self-defence.

i shot the sheriff but i swear it was in self-defence.

freedom came my way one day

and i started out of town.

all of a sudden i see sheriff john brown

aiming to shoot me down

so i shot, i shot him down.

but i say

i shot the sheriff but i did not shoot
