My father he rides with your sheriffs;
|
And I know he would never mean harm,
|
But to see both sides of a quarrel
|
Is to judge without haste or alarm
|
|
Chorus
|
Oh, oh, helpless and slow,
|
And you don't have anywhere to go
|
|
You take away homes from the homeless
|
And leave them to die in the cold
|
The gypsy who begged for your presents
|
He will laugh in your face when you're old
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey
|
Another he drinks up his wine
|
And they'll drink till their eyes are red with hate
|
For those of a different kind
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
When the rivers run quicker than trouble
|
I'll be there at your side in the flood
|
It was all I could do to keep myself
|
From taking revenge on your blood
|
|
(2x Chorus)
