(Sing to the tune of: “I shot the sheriff” by Bob Marley)
I shot a pheasant
But I didn't shoot no quail, oh no! Oh!
I shot nobody
But I didn't shoot no quail, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! All over in this Texas town,
They're tryin' to break me down;
They say they'll levy a huge penalty
For the life of a silly quail
But I say:
Oh, no, no. Oh!
I shot a pheasant
But honestly it was in self defence.
Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!
I say: I shot no quail - Oh, Lord! -
And they say it is a capital offence
Thank God it wasn't the president.
Yeah! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!
