Eric Clapton - I Shot The Sheriff ( Studio Version )

LYRICS

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-defense.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.

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.
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.

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.
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to 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:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.

i do not own this

I play this, when a police car stops in the traffic lights next to me.

[MrGrossoR]

That's the dumbest statement I've ever heard.

Sorry to say....I love Uncle Bob but Eric Claptons version is better. Funky as hell. Just makes me wonna get my strut on

[jmforce1]

Marleys is definitely better

[John Raby]

Eric Clapton.... He could make a whole song and have twelve guitar parts in it... Listen to it and say... Its not right... Then sit up for three days, and yes, three straight days and nights... Just to add one or two notes in the middle of the song that would never be heard in the track again... and BAM! masterpiece son. Got to love him.

[Carolina Frigo]

[CapiTen10]

30-40% of the time? lol elvis stealing & taking credit from black artists is the biggest myth going. he's the reason writing royalties even exist till this day.

Do not kill the seeds I plant, and under no circumstances should you ever harm the growth of the underwear mushrooms, this isn't a fuckin swingers game, the continued existence of all life on earth depends upon "the" fungus (grundy shrooms) detoxifying our mother body/soil. Fuck these weak tit lizards they ain't shit, We can beat em with one hand tied behind our backs. Release the food of the gods, it is all of your birthright. Just toss the a piece of untreated dry 'room in any nice damp envio

[Gabriel Gómez]

now they are 61
