Slipping between them, he ought to have seen the
I'll stay out of jail by paying my bail
"You've got it wrong, sir, I'm only the cleaner"
Done me wrong, same old song
"You've done me wrong", it's the same old song forever, forever
I've got clean away but I'll be back some day
Some day they'll catch me, to a chain they'll attach me
"You've done me wrong", it's the same old song forever, forever
Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony
The felon and his felony
Done me wrong, same old song
He pushed them, well, down in his sack
Done me wrong, same old song
Done me wrong, same old song
With torch shining bright he strode on in the night
Just the combination will have changed
"Hello son, I hope you're having fun"
Done me wrong, same old song
If they try to hold me for trial
Done me wrong, same old song
Until that day I'll side the old crime wave
"You've done me wrong", it's the same old song forever, forever
He picked up the diamonds and bundles of fivers
Done me wrong, same old song
Bad man, bad man, bad man"
But he had some more tricks up his sleeve
The youth caught the guards unaware
The felon and his felony
Robbery, assault and battery
The eyes and their owner so near
"Come outside with your hands held high"
God always fights on the side of the bad man
But the alarm had been sounded, he was completely surrounded
"You'll not get me alive, sir, I promise you that, sir"
"He's leaving via the roof, the bastard's got away
Furtively glancing, they jauntily prancing
Done me wrong, same old song
With that he fired, the other saying as he died
Robbery, assault and battery
The felon and his felony
With that he fired, the other saying as he died
And after I'll go to the court of appeal saying
Robbery, assault and battery
Till he came to the room with the safe
