This Side of the Law
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?
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?
