Buck Owens - John Law paroles de chanson

paroles de chanson John Law - Buck Owens



Well, me and Big Dom was a-getting it on
In a club down in New Orleans
Before it was over, we got half loaded
And picked up a couple of queens
Then we hit every hotspot in that town
And some that were kinda low
We were at one spot down there on the bottom
When the law came through the door
Well, they took us and they booked us at the county jail
And, Lordy, what a sight to see
They had Tennessee pickers and Bourbon Street strippers
And a murder in the first degree
Yeah, they took us ′fore the judge bright and early next morning
Was a swinger right to the end
He said, "I'll tell you, son, just like it is"
"And you can tell it to your skinny friend"
He said, "Don′t you be messing with big John Law, son, it just ain't the thing to do"
He said, "If you don't mess with big John Law, then he ain′t gonna mess with you"
Yeah, "And don′t you go give me no innocent plea, 'cause I know it didn′t happen that way"
"If you and your friend had been innocent, then you'd be out on the street today"
Well, he led us up one side and then down the other
Quoted law ′til he turned blue
He said some big, long words that I'd never heard
But some four-letter ones that I knew
"Yeah, gon′ be a hundred dollars and get out of Louisiana"
"And I never wanna see you again"
"But before you go, I'm gonna tell you once more"
"And you can tell it to your skinny friend"
He said, "Don't you be messing with big John Law, son, it just ain′t the thing to do"
"If you don′t mess with big John Law, then he ain't gonna mess with you"
"And don′t you go give me no innocent plea, 'cause I know it didn′t happen that way"
"If you and your friend had been innocent, then you'd be out on the street today"
He said, "Don′t you go give me no innocent plea, 'cause I know it didn't happen that way"
"If you and your friend had been innocent, then you′d be out on the street today"
