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