Well, breakin rocks in the hot sun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby an' a good fun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby an' I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

She's the best girl that I've ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

Well, robbin' people with a zip-gun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I needed money 'cause I had none

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and I feel so bad

Guess my race is run

She's the best girl that I've ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won
