Big tall courthouse, a clock upon the wall

A hammer on the table and a copper on the door

A judge in front and a jury at the side

A judge in front and a jury at the side

A judge in front and a jury at the side

And a Bible on the stand to say I won't tell lies

Well it's one o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock

Between the rock and roll devil and the fear of god

Big brotherly love runs shallow as skin

In the deep south of America

Can the lady take the stand now? Blah, blah, blah

And how comes a black woman drives her own car?

And what gives you the constitutional right

And what gives you the constitutional right

And what gives you the constitutional right

To drive a car through a junction on a red stop light?

Well it's one o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock

Between the rock and roll devil and the fear of god

Big brotherly love runs shallow as skin

In the deep south of Yorkshire

Well of course I drove the car through a red stop light

But well, I thought that law was just for whites

I saw the white folks drive through on green

I say, I saw the white folks drive through on green

I say, I saw the white folks drive through on green

So when the red light flashed, I thought this must be for me

Well it's one o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock

Just a fear of the people with a fear of god

Lancashire white girl tries to sing the blues

Well, I woke up this morning like I usually do
