Against The Law Lyrics

Against The Law

It's against the law to walk, and against the law to talk 

Against the law to loaf, against the law to work 

Against the law to read, against the law to write 

Against the law to be a black, a brown, or white 



Everything's against the law 

I'm a low-pay daddy singing the high-price blues 



It's against the law to eat, against the law to drink 

Against the law to worry, against the law to think 

Against the law to marry or try to settle down 

Against the law to ramble like a bum from town to town 



Everything's against the law 

I'm a low-pay daddy singing the high-price blues 



It's against the law to come, against the law to go 

Against the law to ride, against the law to roll 

Against the law to hug and against the law to kiss 

Against the law to shoot, against the law to miss 



Everything's against the law 

I'm a low-pay daddy singing the high-price blues 



It's against the law to gamble, against the law to roam 

Against the law to organize or try to build a home 

Against the law to sing, it's against the law to dance 

Against the law to tell you all the trouble on my hands 



Everything in Winston-Salem is against the law 

I'm a low-pay daddy singing the high-price blues
