Down By Law by Sons Of Robert Mitchum
Down By Law lyrics
Well I�m gonna miss my baby 'cause I couldn't make bail
I don't like the kind of loving that a man can get in
jail I�m down
I'm sure tomorrow morning; I�ll set the world to right
Tell the judge of the occurrences, of a certain Friday
night Now I�m down
Libation was the SOP, you honour, as I recall
John Hennessy, the mule and me, and my baby walking
tall About a 1/4 from the bottom end of the sundial
turning nine A killer looking mother feels he don�t
need to stand in line
Now words they were spoken -you know the kind of stuff
you say As I leaned to touch my baby's face his chin
got in the way
I'm told I leaned over several times, before noticing
he was there But all the lights and noise affect one's
senses to be fair I�m down.
Now the cops they took my wallet and they even took the
mule Some glossies and my fingerprints and a statement
on the duel
I enquired about their vacancies, and the condition of
his jaw They showed me to a single room, said "Son,
you�re Down By Law"
Down by law, down by law, I�m gonna miss your birthday
�cause I�m down by law Down by law, down by law, I�m
gonna miss Christmas �cause I�m down by law I�m down by
law, down by law, gonna miss Easter �cause I�m down by
law I�m down by law, down by law, I�m gonna miss you
baby �cause I�m down by law
6 months behind the railings I�ve got nothing left to
prove I�ve got the voice of Morgan Freeman narrating
every move
