My father he rides with your sheriffs | |
And I know he would never mean harm | |
But to see both sides of a quarrel | |
Is to judge without haste or alarm | |
Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
And you don't have anywhere to go | |
You take away homes from the homeless | |
And leave them to die in the cold | |
The gypsy who begs for your presents | |
He will laugh in your face when you're old | |
Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
And you don't have anywhere to go | |
Well one man he drinks up his whiskey | |
Another he drinks up his wine | |
And they'll drink 'till their eyes are red with hate | |
For those of a different kind | |
Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
And you don't have anywhere to go | |
When the rivers run thicker than trouble | |
I'll be there at your side in the flood | |
T'was all I could do to keep myself | |
From taking revenge on your blood | |
Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
And you don't have anywhere to go | |
Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
And you don't have anywhere to go |

My father he rides with your sheriffs | |
And I know he would never mean harm | |
But to see both sides of a quarrel | |
Is to judge without haste or alarm | |
Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
And you don' t have anywhere to go | |
You take away homes from the homeless | |
And leave them to die in the cold | |
The gypsy who begs for your presents | |
He will laugh in your face when you' re old | |
Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
And you don' t have anywhere to go | |
Well one man he drinks up his whiskey | |
Another he drinks up his wine | |
And they' ll drink ' till their eyes are red with hate | |
