Against th' law to rock, against th' law to roll
I'm a low pay daddy singing th' high price blues
Against th' law to hug, against th' law to kiss
Against th' law to ramble like a bum from town to town
Everything in Winston, Salem is against th' law
Everything's against th' law
I'm a low pay daddy singin' th' high price blues
Against th' law to sing, against th' law to dance
It's against th' law to come, against th' law to go
Everything's against th' law
Against th' law to tell you all th' trouble on my hands
Everything's against th' law
Against th' law to be a black, brown or white
It's against th' law to eat, against th' law to drink
Against th' law to organize or try to build a home
Against th' law to read, against th' law to write
Against th' law to worry, against th' law to think
It's against th' law to gamble, it's against th' law to roam
Against th' law to shoot, against th' law to miss
I'm a low pay daddy singing th' high price blues
Against th' law to marry or try to settle down
I'm a low pay daddy singing th' high price blues
Everything in Winston, Salem is against th' law
