rose tattoo - assault and battery lyrics
the charge was -ssault and battery
the judge said there’d be no bail
the charge was -ssault and battery
they dragged me off to jail
i did no crime, she was no friend of mine
vengeance and justice went hand in hand
but there’s a law for the rich and a law for the poor
and i’m just a workin’ man, i’m just a workin’ man
they took no notice of her tears
but they were gettin’ drunk on her fear
i arrived in time to spare her fate
that little girl would feel no shame
i did no crime, she was no friend of mine
vengeance and justice went hand in hand
there’s a law for the rich and a law for the poor
i’m just a workin’ man, i’m just a workin’ man
the charge was -ssault and battery
the judge said there’d be no bail
the charge was -ssault and battery
and they dragged me off to jail
they turned on me mad, crazy and mean
i stole ’em the cake, they were gonna cream
they leapt on me like a pack of dogs
pullin’ me down, they wanted me flogged
punchin’ and fightin’ i got to my feet
determined to leave their blood on the street
if i went down now they’d kick me to death
that sweet little girl would be left a wreck
i did no crime, she was no friend of mine
vengeance and justice went hand in hand
there’s a law for the rich and a law for the poor
i’ve been a workin’ man, i’ve always been a workin’ man
they were waitin’ on me when i got out
and they stabbed me full of holes
it’s now a case of kill or be killed
unwritten jungle law
i did no crime, she was no friend of mine
vengeance and justice went hand in hand
there’s a law for the rich and a law for the poor
i’m just a simple workin’ man, i’m just a simple workin’ man
the charge was -ssault and battery
the judge said there’d be no bail
the charge was -ssault and battery
three years in the stinkin’ jail
the charge was -ssault and battery
the charge was -ssault and battery
the charge was -ssault and battery
