I Shot the Sheriff (feat. Daniela Maia)

I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot no deputy, oh, no

I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot no deputy, oh

All around in my hometown

They're tryna track me down

They say want to bering 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 self defense, oh, no, oh, yeah

I say I shot the sheriff, I shot the sheriff

And they say it is a capital offense, yeah, oh

Sherif John Brown always hated me

For what? I don't know

Every time I plant I seed

He said, "Kill it before it grows"

He said, "Kill them before they grow" and so

Oh, now, now, now

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'm guilty I will pay
