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 sad

I guess my race is run

Well, she's the best girl I've ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

A-robbin' people with a six-gun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and-a 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 my race is run

Well, she's the best girl I've ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won
