I Shot The Sheriff - Eric Clapton

I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy no no no All around my home town Said they're tryin' to track me down They say they wanna bring me in guilty For the killing of a deputy Said for the life of a deputy But I say oh Lord I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in selfdefence oh Lord I shot the sheriff oh Lord They're saying it is a capital offence Sheriff John Brown always hated me And for what I dont know nah Every time I plant a seed yeah He said kill it before it grows He said kill them before they grow oh Lord I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in selfdefence It was I who shot the sheriff But I swear it was in selfdefence You wouldn't understand understand understand I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in selfdefence oh Lord It was I who shot the sheriff But I swear it was in selfdefence yeah Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town yes I did And all of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown Aiming to shoot me down So I shot I shot I shot him down yes I did Lord And if I am guilty I will pay I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy I shot the sheriff But I swear it was a self defence thing ooh Lord I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no I swear I didn't Lord I shot the sheriff You don't understand you don't understand a word I'm saying hey oh Lord I shot the sheriff I've the liberty to tell me that is a capital offence oh Lord I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy no no no no I shot the sheriff I shot the sheriff I shot the sheriff

'Cause I'm bumpin? I just made a new song, my profession is music Your profession is protection with gats Then use it on him when he's tryin' to take my life away I'm just tryin' to live my life today So I keep away from fools They do crime and attract cops Cops got guns and cuffs And cells to stuff you in (I shot the sheriff) But I did not shoot the deputy (All I could think about was war and) (I shot the sheriff) But I did not shoot the deputy (All I could think about was war and) I shot the sheriff I didn't shoot the deputy, I didn't have to 'Cause in this game they always tryin' to blast you And leave it to the cops to find out who did the murder They harass the wrong clan and arrest the wrong man My hommie J dawg got stretched, but that's okay 'Cause I'ma work for life so he can see another day A homie's a homie, a fake is a snake Straight game from the pen from the homie Jake So I keep away from fools They do crime and attract cops Cops got guns and cuffs And cells to stuff you in (I shot the sheriff) But I did not shoot the deputy (All I could think about was war and) (I shot the sheriff) But I did not shoot the deputy (All I could think about was) Fire! Make one shot for da man Warren G A lick two shot for da G Funk family A lick three shot for da LBC A lick four shot for da Jamaican posse (I shot the sheriff) But I did not shoot the deputy (All I could think about was war and) (I shot the sheriff) But I did not shoot the deputy (All I could think about was war and) (I shot the sheriff) But I did not shoot the deputy (All I could think about was war and) (I shot the sheriff) But I did not shoot the deputy (All I could think about was war and)
