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

Well, I miss my baby and feel so bad
I guess my race is run
But she's the best girl that I 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 the good fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Well I miss my baby and feel so bad
I guess my race is run
But she's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
