I Shot The Sheriff (Roni Size Remix)

I Shot The Sheriff
(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, ooh, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! all around in my home town
They're tryin' 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.

Oh, now, now. oh!
(i shot the sheriff) the sheriff
(but i swear it was in selfdefence)
Oh, no! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!
I say: i shot the sheriff oh, lord!
(and they say it is a capital offence)
Yeah! (ooh, ooh, oo-oh) yeah!

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 them before they grow
And so.

Read it in the news
(i shot the sheriff.) oh, lord!
(but i swear it was in self-defence)
Where was the deputy? (oo-oo-oh)
I say: i shot the sheriff
But i swear it was in selfdefence. (oo-oh) yeah!

Freedom came my way one day
And i started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden i saw sheriff john brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So i shot i shot i shot him down and i say
If i am guilty i will pay.

(i shot the sheriff)
But i say (but i didn't shoot no deputy)
I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
(i shot the sheriff.) i did!
But i didn't shoot no deputy. oh! (oo-oo-ooh)

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

I - i - i - i shot the sheriff
Lord, i didn't shot the deputy yeah!
I - i (shot the sheriff)
But i didn't shoot no deputy, yeah! no, yeah!
