Lyrics for Aginst Th' Law
It's against th' law to walk, against th' law to talk Against th' law to loaf, against th' law to work Against th' law to read, against th' law to write Against th' law to be a black, brown or white Everything's against th' law I'm a low pay daddy singing th' high price blues It's against th' law to eat, against th' law to drink Against th' law to worry, against th' law to think Against th' law to marry or try to settle down Against th' law to ramble like a bum from town to town Everything's against th' law I'm a low pay daddy singing th' high price blues It's against th' law to come, against th' law to go Against th' law to rock, against th' law to roll Against th' law to hug, against th' law to kiss Against th' law to shoot, against th' law to miss Everything's against th' law I'm a low pay daddy singing th' high price blues It's against th' law to gamble, it's against th' law to roam Against th' law to organize or try to build a home Against th' law to sing, against th' law to dance Against th' law to tell you all th' trouble on my hands Everything in Winston, Salem is against th' law I'm a low pay daddy singin' th' high price blues Everything in Winston, Salem is against th' law I'm a low pay daddy singin' th' high price blues
