เพลง I Shot The Sheriff (Live At Long Beach Arena, California / 1974)

I Shot The Sheriff - Eric Clapton

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

trying to track me down.

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 did not shoot the deputy .

I shot the sheriff

but I did not shoot the deputy .

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 did not shoot the deputy .

I shot the sheriff

but I did not shoot the deputy .

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, I shot him down.

But 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 will be, will be.

Every day the bucket goes to well

one day the bottom will drop out,

yes, one day the bottom will drop out.

I shot the sheriff

but I did not shoot the deputy.

I shot the sheriff

but I did not shoot the deputy.
