Lyrics

I’m 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 bad
I guess my race is run
She's was best gal I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I’m 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 the good 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 bad
I guess my race is run
Oh, she's the first gal I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
