Jakob Dylan - I Shot The Sheriff Lyrics






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

All around my hometown
They're trying to track me down
They want to bring me in guilty for the
For the killing of the deputy
For the life of a deputy
I say

I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense
I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offense

Sheriff John Brown he hated me
For what? I don't know
Every time that I plant my seed
He said, he says "Kill it before it grows"
He said "Kill it before it grows"
I say

I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy

Freedom came my way one day
I started out of town
All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
He was aiming to shoot me down
So I, so I shot him down
I say
If I am guilty I will pay

I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy

Reflexes had the better of me
One day I fell out
With a bucket this old well
One day it's just bound to fall out
One day it is bound to fall out
I say

I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy

Jakob Dylan I Shot The Sheriff Comments
  1. E.... I....

    Love this! This song suits his voice so well. Such a unique tone to his voice.

  2. R.... C....

    if I get to meet Jakob Dylan, I'd like to mention to him that a long time ago I thought it was "I shocked the shell" or when some person replied to me that they thought I had to get my ears checked

  3. N.... W....

    No other son of a great artist has ever approached the level of artistry that Jakob Dylan has attained. Bob ought to be proud of him.

    N.... W....

    Jakob Dylan has always had his own style. His songwriting has always been very simple and touching and vulnerable. Always have loved his music and he deserves more credit than simply being his father's son.
