Assault & Battery |
The charge was assault & battery |
The judge said there’d be no bail |
The charge was assault & 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 & battery |
The judge said there’d be no bail |
The charge was assault & 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 |
Their 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 & battery |
The judge said there’d be no bail |
The charge was assault & battery |
Three years in the stinkin' jail |
The charge was assault & battery |
The charge was assault & battery |
The charge was assault & battery |
