Текст песни: I Shot the Sherriff + перевод

(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, 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 self defense) Oh, no! (Oh, oh, ooh)

Yeah, I say, I shot the sheriff oh, Lord! (And they say it is a capital offense)

Yeah! (oh, oh, ooh) Yeah!
