Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - I Fought The Law Lyrics






Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Well I miss my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl I've ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Well I miss my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl I've ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

    My comment yesterday was cut short but I believe that Jimmy's vocals and the the lead guitar (probably session muso) was superior to the original recording by the Bobby Fuller Four

    Andrew Webster Jeff Hanna is on lead guitar.

    The originals was Sny Curtis & The Crickets

  2. A.... W....

    I suggested that the Dirt Band record this this song in the early 90's because I thought that Jimmy's and the band's vocals were

    similar to the Bobby Fuller 4 vocals
