「I Shot The Sheriff」の歌詞 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
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 defence
I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offence
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill it before it grow
But I say

I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence
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
But I say

I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no 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 no deputy oh no
