Lirieke: Woody Guthrie. Aginst Th' Law.

ItA's aginst thA' law to walk, ItA's aginst thA' law to talk
ItA's against thA' law to loaf, ItA's aginst thA' law to work
ItA's aginst thA' law to read, ItA's aginst thA' law to write
ItA's aginst thA' law to be a black or brown or white.

EverA'thing's aginst thA' law
IA'm a low pay daddy singing thA' high price blues

ItA's aginst thA' law to eat, ItA's aginst thA' law to drink
ItA's aginst thA' law to worry, ItA's aginst thA' law to think
ItA's aginst thA' law to marry or to try to settle down
ItA's aginst thA' law to ramble like a bum from town to town

EverA'thing's aginst thA' law
IA'm a low pay daddy singing thA' high price blues

ItA's aginst thA' law to come, ItA's against thA' law to go
ItA's against thA' law to ride, ItA's against thA' law to roll
ItA's aginst thA' law to hug, ItA's against thA' law to kiss

ItA's against thA' law to shoot, ItA's against thA' law to miss

EverA'thing's aginst thA' law
IA'm a low pay daddy singing thA' high price blues

ItA's aginst thA' law to gamble, ItA's aginst thA' law to roam
ItA's aginst thA' law to organize or try to build a home
ItA's aginst thA' law to sing, ItA's aginst thA' law to dance
ItA's aginst thA' law to tell you thA' trouble on my hands

Ever'thing in Winston Salem is aginst th' law
I'ma low pay daddy singin' th' high price blues.
