They say they want to bring me in guilty
10
For the life of a deputy
11

He was aiming to shoot I down

Reflexes had the better of me
40
And what is to be must be
41
Every day the bucket goes to the well
42
I say, one day the bottom a-go drop out
43
One day the bottom will drop out
44
And so

And so
46
Really sing

48
But I didn't shoot the deputy
49

50
I shot the sheriff
51
But I didn't shoot the deputy
