Like Father Like Son   I Shot The Sheriff (Originally recorded by Bob Marley & The Wailers)
(Marley)


I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh!
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy. Ooh, oo-ooh
All around in my home town
They tryin' to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the life of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
But I say, yeah

I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence
I swear it was in self defence, yea-ea-eah!
It was I who shot the sheriff
(And they say it is a capital offence (Oo-ooh)

Sheriff John Brown always hates me
For what, I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He say, "Kill them before they grow"
He say, "Kill them before they grow", now
And so, yeah - and so

I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy (Oh no! Oh!)
It was I shot the sheriff
But I (didn't shoot no deputy)
I didn't shoot no deputy (Oo-ooh)
No-no-no-no-no!

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah!
Then all of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
He was aiming to shoot I down
So I shot, yes, I shot - shot him down and I say, yeah

By-by-by - I shot the sheriff
Love, I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no! Oh!)
It was I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy (Oo-ooh)

Reflexes had the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goes to the well
I say, one day the bottom a-go drop out
One day the bottom will drop out

And so - and so, read it!
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy Oh no, oh!
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy Oo-ooh
