(Sonny Curtis)

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



I miss my baby and I feel so sad

I guess my race is run

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



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 I miss fun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won



I miss my baby and I feel so sad

I guess my race is run

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



I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law



I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law



I miss my baby and I feel so sad

I guess my race is run

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
