All around in my old town

They say they want to bring me in guilty

For the killing of a deputy

And they say it is a capital offence

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
F7M Em7 Am
For what I don't know
F7M Em7 Am
Every time I plant a seed
F7M Em7 Am
He said "Kill it before it grow"

Freedom came my way one day
F7M Em7 Am
And I started out of town
F7M Em7 Am
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
F7M Em7 Am
Aiming to shoot me down
F7M Em7
So I shot, I shot , I shot him down
And I say
Am
I shot the sheriff

Every day the bucket I go I well
F7M Em7 Am
One day the bottom will drop out
F7M Em7 Am
One day the bottom will drop out
But I say
Am
I shot the sheriff
Dm Am
But I did not shoot the deputy
Am
I shot the sheriff
Dm Am
But I did not shoot the deputy
