(Ralph Burns Kellogg)
|
When Lester was a little bitty baby
|
Mama told him, "son,
|
Never be kind to strangers
|
And always carry a gun."
|
And Lester vowed to make her proud
|
Until the day he died
|
He had her name tattooed on his arm
|
To show the world his pride.

|
Lester the Arrester
|
Riding in the sky
|
Lester the Arrester
|
Will you never die
|
Late at night when the moon is bright
|
The same old ghost goes riding by.
|
|
|
Lester always loved his work, no Lester wasn't soft
|
He loved upholding law so much he never took time off
|
Late one night he got a call to go to the edge of town
|
A prowler was reported off of the graveyard on the shroud.
|
|
|
Lester the Arrester
|
Found the Devil in disguise
|
The Devil said to Lester,
|
"You can take your prize
|
I've watched you for quite some time
|
And I'm sure you're my kind of man."
|
|
|
The Devil turned to Lester in a greasy cloud of smoke
|
He laughed out loud and
|
Oh, what fun it was to play this kind of joke (HA HA HA HA)
|
Lester became immortal and more famous than most
|
He rides the sky forever as a legend
|
There he goes.
|
|
|
Lester the Arrester
|
Riding in the sky
|
Lester the Arrester
|
Will you never die
|
Late at night when the moon is bright
|
The same old ghost goes riding by.
|
|
|
Oh, Lester (by-by-by-by-by) the Arrester
|
He's the legendary law, He's the legendary law
|
Lester the Arrester goes riding by
|
The ghost of Lester ain't a-never, never, never, never
|
Ever, ever gonna die, die, die
|
Oooohh Right!
