You Can’t Be Told
Won't do right, and you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
Won't do right, and you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
Spent his whole life running
Trying to meet a mark
Seems like every moment
Put him back at the start
See how he livin'
See where he's bound
Same destination
Six feet in the ground
Eagle bird got his eye on you
Got his eye on you, got his eye on you
Eagle bird got his eye on you
Everything you do, got his eye on you
Ain't tryin' to be nobody
But my fine sweet self
Honey, if I give you everything
Then I'll have nothing left
If I gotta break the law
To be free from your chains
I'll plead self-defense
When that judge call my name
Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right
To crow before daylight
Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right
To crow before daylight
Won't do right, and you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
Won't do right, and you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
Won't do right, and you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
Won't do right, and you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
Spent his whole life running
Trying to meet a mark
Seems like every moment
Put him back at the start
See how he livin'
See where he's bound
Same destination
Six feet in the ground
Eagle bird got his eye on you
Got his eye on you, got his eye on you
Eagle bird got his eye on you
Everything you do, got his eye on you
Ain't tryin' to be nobody
But my fine sweet self
Honey, if I give you everything
Then I'll have nothing left
If I gotta break the law
To be free from your chains
I'll plead self-defense
When that judge call my name
Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right
To crow before daylight
Rooster crowed in the dead of night
Knew it wasn't right
To crow before daylight
Won't do right, and you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
Won't do right, and you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
Won't do right, and you can't be told
No, you can't be told, no, you can't be told
