The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 'cos 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 bad, I guess my race is run

She's the best girl I ever had, I Fought the law and the law won

I Fought the law and the law won, I was robbing 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 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 bad

I guess my race is run, She's the best girl I ever had

I Fought the law and the law won, I Fought the law and the law won
