The deputy was off duty & no where near the crime.

According to the song he shot the sheriff in self defense. I guess the deputy didn't point a gun at him

Sheriff John Brown always hated you because you kept planting seeds everywhere. The deputy was a nature lover so he wasn't aiming to kill you.

You know... ive been wondering the same thing for many years. Maybe the Sherrif was a mad man... and the deputy was a really nice guy.

the sheriff was a guy and we killed him, but the deputy was a monkey so we gave it a banana and it left to africa.
