Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk someone
said he stumbled and he fell Six squad cars came
screamin' to the rescue hauled old Billy Dalton
off to jail Cause the law is for protection of the
people rules're rules and any fool can see We
don't need no tramps like Billy Dalton scaring
decent folks like you and me no siree Charlie
Watson wandered like a stranger showin' he had no
means of support Policeman took a look at
Charlie's pants cuffs hustled Charlie Watson off
to court Cause the law is for protection of the
people rules're rules and any fool can see We
don't need no bums like Charlie Watson Scaring
decent folks like you and me no siree Homer Lee

brave policemen held down Homer Lee and cut his
