Bobby Bare Law Is For Protection Of The People Lyrics

Law Is For Protection Of The People Lyrics

Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk someone said he stumbled and he fell

Six squad cars came screamin' to the rescue hauled old Billy Dalton off to
jail

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can
see

We don't need no tramps like Billy Dalton scaring decent folks like you and me
no siree

Charlie Watson wandered like a stranger showin' he had no means of support

Policeman took a look at Charlie's pants cuffs hustled Charlie Watson off to
court

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can
see

We don't need no bums like Charlie Watson

Scaring decent folks like you and me no siree

Homer Lee was nothing but a hippie walking through this world without a care

Then one day six strapping brave policemen held down Homer Lee and cut his
hair

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can
see

We don't need no hairy headed hippie scaring decent folks like you and me no
siree

So thank your lucky stars you've got protection walk the line and never mind
the cost

And don't wonder who them lawmen were protecting

When they nailed the Saviour to the cross

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can
see

We don't need no little sneaking prophets scaring decent folks like you and me
no siree
