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
