This Side of the Law |
|
On this side of the law, |
|
On that side of the law, |
|
Who is right? Who is wrong? |
|
Who is weak? Who is strong? |
|
Who is for and who?s against the law? |
|
You see, I didn't really mean and harm, |
|
But I simply couldn't make it on the farm. |
|
When the land won't give a lot |
|
You gotta do with what you got. |
|
And all I got's the muscle in my arm; bum! bum! bum! |
|
Well, I wouldn't ever hurt my fellow man. |
|
And it seems to me that you could under stand. |
|
I'm just tryin' to help my self without hurtin' somebody else. |
|
And a man has got to do the best he can. |
|
On this side of the law, |
|
On that side of the law, |
|
Who is right? Who is wrong? |
|
Who is weak? Who is strong? |
|
Who is for and who's against the law? |
|
Well, I didn't mean to let my fam'ly down, |
|
And I'm not giving you the run a round. |
|
I'd much rather be dead than have to beg my daily bread. |
|
And to pay my way no matter where I'm bound; bum! bum! bum! |
|
Well, I didn't really think that I did wrong. |
|
So long as I stayed here where I belong. |
|
I did the only thing I could, |
|
Same as anybody would. |
|
And I was simply trying to get along. |
|
On this side of the law, |
|
On that side of the law, |
|
Who is right? Who is wrong? |
|
Who is weak? Who is strong? |
|
Who is for and who's against the law? |
