CROOKED JUDGE
(ROBERT HUNTER/ DAVID NELSON)
PAID MY MONEY TO A CROOKED JUDGE
SET OUT TO FIND AN HONEST MAN
THATS HOW I CAME TO BE IN BOSTON
LOOKIN LIKE I AM
IF BY NOW WE STOP TO SLEEP
WE CANT MAKE NO MIDNIGHT CREEP
ONLY TIME CAN EVER SAY
PACK MY CAT AND HAUL AWAY
RAINED ALL NIGHT AND IT RAINED ALL DAY
RAIN IT FLOATED MY HOUSE AWAY
DIDNT IT RAIN OH DIDNT IT RAIN
DIDNT IT RAIN THAT DAY
IF BY NOW, WE STEP BY THEN
SOMEDAY WE MAY MEET AGAIN
RUN DOWN HIGH, LOOK DOWN LOW
CALL THE CAPTAIN UP FROM THE HOLE
I WAS DOWN IN SOME LOW DIVE
TALKIN ALL THE USUAL JIVE
LIKE, SAY BUDDY GIMME FIVE
AND I AINT DRUNK ENOUGH TO DRIVE
WIPE THAT GRIN RIGHT OFF YOUR FACE
BEFORE I THROW YOU THROUGH THE WALL
NO ONE NEEDS A WISE GUY, JACK
ESPECIALLY ONE DONT CHECK HIS FACTS
IF BY NOW WE STEP BY THEN
SOMEDAY WE MAY MEET AGAIN
WHO CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
EVEN THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY
EVEN THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY
HEY, CROOKED JUDGE, EVEN THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY
