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 left my baby and I feel so sad I guess my race is run But she's the best girl I've ever had I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won 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 left my baby and I feel so sad I guess my race is run But she's the best girl I've ever had I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won
