I still remember the whole affair

But I don't go for nothing like that

After it's over what gets you there

Do you still hang around with that cat

Who told you lies

Fogged up those innocent eyes

Blessed you with death in disguise

Guess you were bloodied but

That's how you live

Now it's your turn to give

No I do not believe that you really care

You got no place for wearing your hat

Over by dewey you met the man

And he blew you away in a flash

Seems someone set you up and when he ran

You were left holding onto the stash

You bought the farm

Dead with your head on your arm

I knew he'd do you some harm

Why did you try to be

Like all the thieves

That you see on tv

You were bound and determined to make your stand

But you couldn't come up with the cash

Fagenson looked out of his window

And he could not believe what he saw

Calvin thinking he was bobby fuller

Squealing and swinging

Don swore he was singing

A verse or two of I fought the law

Yours was the hungriest mouth to feed

But it just wasn't meant to be fed

Six shots of shelter is what you need

But you got seven ounces of lead

It's not so nice

After they put you on ice

I see no virtue in vice

This time you blew it

But next time around

When you breeze into town

Just remember they're watching so keep your hands

Both securely on top of your head
