<pre><font size='+2'>SHERIFF JOHN BROWN lyrics THE CORAL</font><br>Sheriff John Brown just wandered into town<br />
<br />
Looking for a cripple and a thief<br />
<br />
A black man and a woman and a lonesome guy like me<br />
<br />
Just trying to raise the stakes so we can be free<br />
<br />
The dustballs were blowing the sun it cracked the ground<br />
<br />
Where could a crime like this ever be found<br />
<br />
Good people of the town said to sheriff John Brown<br />
<br />
Go and shoot those invalids right down <br />
<br />
I said Sheriff no don`t you be cruel it could happen to you now<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What exactly have they done said sheriff John Brown<br />
<br />
For me to shoot those poor old bastards down<br />
<br />
Then outstepped the preacher with his hand upon his heart<br />
<br />
Can`t you see that I`ve been chosen by god<br />
<br />
And I tell you this for nothing<br />
<br />
That crowd ain`t no good<br />
<br />
They`re standing out just like a sore thumb<br />
<br />
But yes I do agree said the lawyer on the left<br />
<br />
I`d kill them now if it were up to me<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But I said sheriff don`t be cruel it could happen to you now<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Out into the wilderness the sheriff he did ride<br />
<br />
Heading for the river bridge the laws you must abide<br />
<br />
Two hours became three, I knew he would come for me<br />
<br />
The day grew long and I began to tire<br />
<br />
John Brown`s face appeared from behind the fire<br />
<br />
Boys and girls whatcho doing gonna be so free<br />
<br />
The people of the town talk dissapprovingly<br />
<br />
Don`t want to take you in, thats not up to me<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I said sheriff don`t be cruel it could happen to you now<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But guilt and doubt they cloud his mind<br />
<br />
He thought what exactly is the law<br />
<br />
He didn`t even know what it stood for<br />
<br />
And who pays the cost for all that is lost<br />
<br />
Seems to me an impossibility<br />
<br />
And who says whats right and who says whats wrong<br />
<br />
Who benefits it sure ain`t me<br />
<br />
And outstepped the woman saying we mean you no harm<br />
<br />
Come closer and I will read your palm<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But I said sheriff no don`t you be cruel it could happen to you now<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
That night he left a long road came back without a rest<br />
<br />
Knowingly he questionned ??? lawyer on the left<br />
<br />
Bet you`ve gone and set them sinners free<br />
<br />
Well yes replied the sheriff they done nothing wrong<br />
<br />
My god why can`t you people see<br />
<br />
And the preacher shot him down and his head it hit the ground<br />
<br />
The last you`ll ever see of poor John Brown<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And the moral of this tale it is simple it is plain<br />
<br />
People always need someone to blame<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But I said sheriff no don`t you be cruel it could happen to you now<br />
<br />

Send "Sheriff John Brown" Ringtone to your Cell

Sheriff John Brown just wandered into town

Looking for a cripple and a thief

A black man and a woman and a lonesome guy like me

Just trying to raise the stakes so we can be free

The dustballs were blowing the sun it cracked the ground

Where could a crime like this ever be found

Good people of the town said to sheriff John Brown

Go and shoot those invalids right down

I said Sheriff no don`t you be cruel it could happen to you now

What exactly have they done said sheriff John Brown

For me to shoot those poor old bastards down

Then outstepped the preacher with his hand upon his heart

Can`t you see that I`ve been chosen by god

And I tell you this for nothing

That crowd ain`t no good

They`re standing out just like a sore thumb

But yes I do agree said the lawyer on the left

I`d kill them now if it were up to me

But I said sheriff don`t be cruel it could happen to you now

Out into the wilderness the sheriff he did ride

Heading for the river bridge the laws you must abide

Two hours became three, I knew he would come for me

The day grew long and I began to tire

John Brown`s face appeared from behind the fire

Boys and girls whatcho doing gonna be so free

The people of the town talk dissapprovingly

Don`t want to take you in, thats not up to me

I said sheriff don`t be cruel it could happen to you now

But guilt and doubt they cloud his mind

He thought what exactly is the law

He didn`t even know what it stood for

And who pays the cost for all that is lost

Seems to me an impossibility

And who says whats right and who says whats wrong

Who benefits it sure ain`t me

And outstepped the woman saying we mean you no harm

Come closer and I will read your palm

But I said sheriff no don`t you be cruel it could happen to you now

That night he left a long road came back without a rest

Knowingly he questionned ??? lawyer on the left

Bet you`ve gone and set them sinners free

Well yes replied the sheriff they done nothing wrong

My god why can`t you people see

And the preacher shot him down and his head it hit the ground

The last you`ll ever see of poor John Brown

And the moral of this tale it is simple it is plain

People always need someone to blame

But I said sheriff no don`t you be cruel it could happen to you now

But I said sheriff no don`t you be cruel it could happen to you now
