I breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and then law won
I fought the law and then law won

I needed the money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and then law won
I fought the law and then law won

I left my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
Well she's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and then law won
I fought the law and then law won

Robbin' people with a
Six gun
I fought the law and then law won
I fought the law and then law won

I miss my baby and then look up
I fought the law and then law won
I fought the law and then law won

I left my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
Why she's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and then law won
I fought the law and then law won
