(Anderson/Cocks)
The Charge Was Assault & Battery
The Judge Said There'd Be No Bail
The Charge Was Assault & 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 Assault & Battery
The Judge Said There'd Be No Bail
The Charge Was Assault & 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

Their 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 Assault & Battery
The Judge Said There'd Be No Bail
The Charge Was Assault & Battery
Three Years In The Stinkin' Jail

The Charge Was Assault & Battery
The Charge Was Assault & Battery
The Charge Was Assault & Battery
