Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, he can't be told
No, he can't be told
Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, he can't be told
No, he can't be told
[Verse 2]
Spent his whole life running
Trying to meet a mark
Seems like every moment
Put him back at the start
See how he livin'
See where he's bound
Same destination
Six feet in the ground
[Verse 3]
Eagle bird got his eye on you
Got his eye on you
Got his eye on you
Eagle bird got his eye on you
Everything you do
Got his eye on you
[Verse 4]
Ain't tryin' to be nobody
But my fine sweet self
Honey, if I give you everything
Then, I'll have nothing left
If I've gotta break the law
To be free from your chains
I'll plead self-defence
When that judge calls my name
[Verse 5]
Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right
To crow before daylight
Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right
To crow before daylight
[Verse 6]
Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, he can't be told
No, he can't be told
Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, he can't be told
No, he can't be told
[Verse 7]
Won't do right, and he can't be told
No, he can't be told
No, he can't be told
