Aginst Th' Law Songtext
It's aginst th' law to walk, it's aginst th' law to talk It's aginst th' law to loaf, it's aginst th' law to work It's aginst th' law to read, it's aginst th' law to write It's aginst th' law to be a black, 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, it's aginst th' law to drink It's aginst th' law to worry, it's aginst th' law to think It's aginst th' law to marry or 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, it's aginst th' law to go It's aginst th' law to ride, it's aginst th' law to roll It's aginst th' law to hug, it's aginst th' law to kiss It's aginst th' law to shoot, it's 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 aaginst th' law to organize or try to build a home It's aginst th' law to sing, it's aginst th' law to dance It's aginst th' law to tell you all th' trouble on my hands Ever'thing in winston-salem is aginst th' law I'm a low pay daddy singin' th' high price blues Words: Woody Guthrie (1947) - Music: Billy Bragg (1995)
