The charge was assault & batteryThe judge said there'd be no bailThe charge was assault & batteryThey dragged me off to jailI did no crime she was no friend of mineVengeance and justice went hand in handBut there's a law for the rich, and a law for the poorAnd I'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' manThey took no notice of her tearsBut they were gettin' drunk on her fearI arrived in time to spare her fateThat little girl would feel no shameI did no crime she was no friend of mineVengeance and justice went hand in handThere's a law for the rich, and a law for the poorI'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' manThe charge was assault & batteryThe judge said there'd be no bailThe charge was assault & batteryAnd they dragged me off to jailThey turned on me mad, crazy and meanLetras de cancionesI stole 'em the cake, they were gonna creamThey leapt on me like a pack of dogsPullin' me down, they wanted me floggedPunchin' and fightin' I got to my feetDetermined to leave their blood on the streetIf I went down now they'd kick me to deathThat sweet little girl would be left a wreckI did no crime she was no friend of mineVengeance and justice went hand in handThere's a law for the rich, and a law for the poorI've been a workin' man, I've always been a workin' manTheir waitin' on me when I got outAnd they stabbed me full of holesIt's now a case of kill or be killedUnwritten jungle lawI did no crime she was no friend of mineVengeance and justice went hand in handThere's a law for the rich, and a law for the poorI'm just a simple workin' man, I'm just a simple workin' manThe charge was assault & batteryThe judge said there'd be no bailThe charge was assault & batteryThree years in the stinkin' jailThe charge was assault & batteryThe charge was assault & batteryThe charge was assault & battery From Letras Mania
