I Fought the Law

(Sonny Curtis)



A breakin' rocks in the hot sun

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,

I guess the race is run

'Cause he's the best man I ever had,

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won.



--- Instrumental ---



A robbin' people with a sixgun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won.



I miss my baby and the good fun

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

I guess the race is run

'Cause he's the best man I ever had,

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won...
