Lyrics
On this side of the law On that side of the law Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is for and who's against the law?
Well, you see, I didn't really mean you any harm But I simply couldn't make it on the farm When the land won't give a lot You gotta do with what you got And all I got's the muscle in my arm
Well, I wouldn't ever hurt my fellow man And mister seems to me you'd understand I'm just tryin' to help myself without hurtin' anybody else And a man has got to do the best he can
On this side of the law On that side of the law Who is weak? Who is wrong? Who is for and who's against the law?
Oh, I didn't mean to let my family down And I'm not giving you the run around I had rather be dead than to have to beg my daily bread And to pay my way no matter where I'm bound
Well, I didn't really think that I did wrong Just as long as I stayed here where I belong I did the only thing I could, same as anybody would Guess I was simply trying to get along
On this side of the law On that side of the law Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is for and who's against the law?
