I shot the sheriff... 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... Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town yeah 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... Reflexes got the better of me And what is to be must be Every day the bucket falls 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...

A
D
I long to see the morning light Colouring your face so dreamily So don't you go and say goodbye You can lay your worries down and stay with me And don't you ever leave Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms... Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms...
