[A]I'm a low pay daddy singing th' high price blues
(follow the same pattern for the rest of the song)
It's against th' law to eat, It's against th' law to drink

It's against th' law to ramble like a bum from town to town
Ever'thing's against th' law

It's against th' law to come, It's against th' law to go
It's against th' law to ride, It's against th' law to roll

It's against th' law to shoot, It's against th' law to miss
Ever'thing's against th' law
I'm a low pay daddy singing th' high price blues
It's against th' law to gamble, It's against th' law to roam
It's against th' law to organize or to try to build a home
It's against th' law to sing, It's against th' law to dance
It's against th' law to tell you th' trouble on my hands
Ever'thing in Winston Salem is against th' law
I'm a low pay daddy singing th' high price blues
