Lawyer Clark Blues

Now got an office in town, residence out on Seventy Road
 He got a nice little lake right inside the grove
 Boys, you know I like Mr.Clark, yes he really is my friend
 He say if I just stay out the grave
 He see that I won't go to the pen
 Now Mr.Clark is a lawyer, his younger brother is too
 When the bail get hard, he tell 'em just what to do
 Boys, you know I like Mr. Clark, yes, you know he is my
 friend
 He say if I just stay out the grave
 He see that I won't go to the pen
 Now he lawyer for the rich, he lawyer for the poor
 He don't try to rob nobody, just bring along 'em his dough
 Boys, you know I like Mr.Clark, yes, he really is my friend
 He say if I just stay out the grave
 He see that I won't go to the pen
 Now once I got in trouble, you know I was gon' take a ride
 He didn't let it reach the courthouse, he kept in on outside
 Boys, you know I like Mr.Clark, yes, he really is my friend
 He say if I just stay out the graveyard
 Poor John, I see you won't go to the pen
 Now Mr.Clark is a good lawyer, he good as I ever seen
 He's the first man that proved that water run upstream
 Boys, you know I like Mr.Clark, yes, he really is my friend
 He say if I just stay out the grave
 Poor John, I see you won't go to the pen
