The charge was assault and battery
The judge said there'd be no bail
The charge was assault 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 assault and battery
The judge said there'd be no bail
The charge was assault 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 assault and battery
The judge said there'd be no bail
The charge was assault and battery
Three years in the stinkin' jail
The charge was assault and battery
The charge was assault and battery
The charge was assault and battery
