Aginst th’ Law

Lyrics

It's aginst th' law to walk, aginst th' law to talk Against th' law to loaf, aginst th' law to work Aginst th' law to read, aginst th' law to write Aginst th' law to be a black or brown or white Ever'thing's aginst th' law I'm a low-pay daddy singing th' high-price blues It's aginst th' law to eat, aginst th' law to drink It's aginst th' law to worry, aginst th' law to think It's aginst th' law to marry or to try to settle down It's aginst th' law to ramble like a bum from town to town Ever'thing's aginst th' law I'm a low-pay daddy singing th' high-price blues It's aginst th' law to come, aginst th' law to go Aginst th' law to ride, aginst th' law to roll Aginst th' law to hug, aginst th' law to kiss Aganst th' law to shoot, aginst th' law to miss Ever'thing's aginst th' law I'm a low-pay daddy singing th' high-price blues It's aginst th' law to gamble, it's aginst th' law to roam It's aginst th' law to organize or try to build a home Aginst th' law to sing, aginst th' law to dance Aginst th' law to tell you th' trouble on my hands Ever'thing in Winston Salem is aginst th' law I'm a low-pay daddy singing th' high-price blues
