Paroles officielles de la chanson "Long Arm Of The Law"

In Cumberland Kentucky
On a cool autumn evenin'
Billy lay in love with Mary Ann
She was a rich judge's daughter
He was the son of a miner
But that night their love was more
Than they could stand
Now the judge he told his daughter
That son of that coal miner
Is someone you'd do well to leave alone
And she knew her dad so well
She knew she couldn't tell
But the truth was gonna show before too long
Their love had started growin' on it's own
Billy placed his hand on Mary
And felt the baby movin'
Then he kissed her and said I'll see you when I can
'Cause the judge had made a promise
When he caught up with Billy
He'd send him far away from Mary Ann
The whole town knew he'd do it
Too many times he had proved it
To at least a hundred men behind the walls
He'd smile beneath that frown
And bring that gavel down
And call himself the long arm of the law
It seemed he like to see a good man fall
You can't out run the long arm of the law
You can't out run the long arm
