Assault & Battery Lyrics - Remedy

(Anderson/Cocks) 

The charge was assault & battery 

The judge said there'd be no bail 

The charge was assault & battery 

They dragged me off to jail 

I did no crime she was no friend of mine 

Vengeance and justice went hand in hand 

But there's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor 

And I'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' man 

They took no notice of her tears 

But they were gettin' drunk on her fear 

I arrived in time to spare her fate 

That little girl would feel no shame

I did no crime she was no friend of mine 

Vengeance and justice went hand in hand 

There's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor 

I'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' man 

The charge was assault & battery 

The judge said there'd be no bail 

The charge was assault & battery 

And they dragged me off to jail 

They turned on me mad, crazy and mean 

I stole 'em the cake, they were gonna cream 

They leapt on me like a pack of dogs 

Pullin' me down, they wanted me flogged 

Punchin' and fightin' I got to my feet 

Determined to leave their blood on the street 

If I went down now they'd kick me to death 

That sweet little girl would be left a wreck

I did no crime she was no friend of mine 

Vengeance and justice went hand in hand 

There's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor 

I've been a workin' man, I've always been a workin' man 

Their waitin' on me when I got out 

And they stabbed me full of holes 

It's now a case of kill or be killed 

Unwritten jungle law 

I did no crime she was no friend of mine 

Vengeance and justice went hand in hand 

There's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor 

I'm just a simple workin' man, I'm just a simple workin' man 

The charge was assault & battery 

The judge said there'd be no bail 

The charge was assault & battery 

Three years in the stinkin' jail 

The charge was assault & battery 

The charge was assault & battery 

The charge was assault & battery
