|
The charge was assault and battery |
|
The judge said there'd be no bail |
|
The charge was assault and battery |
|
They dragged me off to jail |
|
I did no crime, she was no friend of mine |
|
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand |
|
But there's a law for the rich and a law for the poor |
|
And I'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' man |
|
They took no notice of her tears |
|
But they were gettin' drunk on her fear |
|
I arrived in time to spare her fate |
|
That little girl would feel no shame |
|
I did no crime, she was no friend of mine |
|
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand |
|
There's a law for the rich and a law for the poor |
|
I'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' man |
|
The charge was assault and battery |
|
The judge said there'd be no bail |
|
The charge was assault and battery |
|
And they dragged me off to jail |
|
They turned on me mad, crazy and mean |
|
I stole 'em the cake, they were gonna cream |
|
They leapt on me like a pack of dogs |
|
Pullin' me down, they wanted me flogged |
|
Punchin' and fightin' I got to my feet |
|
Determined to leave their blood on the street |
|
If I went down now they'd kick me to death |
|
That sweet little girl would be left a wreck |
|
I did no crime, she was no friend of mine |
|
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand |
|
There's a law for the rich and a law for the poor |
|
I've been a workin' man, I've always been a workin' man |
|
They were waitin' on me when I got out |
|
And they stabbed me full of holes |
|
It's now a case of kill or be killed |
|
Unwritten jungle law |
|
I did no crime, she was no friend of mine |
|
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand |
|
There's a law for the rich and a law for the poor |
|
I'm just a simple workin' man, I'm just a simple workin' man |
|
The charge was assault and battery |
|
The judge said there'd be no bail |
|
The charge was assault and battery |
|
Three years in the stinkin' jail |
|
The charge was assault and battery |
|
The charge was assault and battery |
|
The charge was assault and battery |
