Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk
         Bb majorBb       C majorC
Someone said he stumbled and he fell
            Bb majorBb       C majorC
Six squad cars came screaming to the rescue
         Bb majorBb      C majorC
Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail

      FF       C majorC       FF
'Cause the law is for protection of the people
           C majorC      FF
Rules are rules and any fool can see
          Eb MajorEb        FF
We don't need no drunks like Billy Dalton
 DmDm               G+G    G7G7
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree

      C majorC      Bb majorBb      C majorC
Homer Lee Hunnicut was nothing but a hippy
          Bb majorBb       C majorC
Walking thru this world without a care
           Bb majorBb       C majorC
Then one day, six strapping brave policemen
         Bb majorBb       C majorC
Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair

      FF       C majorC       FF
'Cause the law is for protection of the people
           C majorC      FF
Rules are rules and any fool can see
         Eb MajorEb       FF
We don't need no hairy headed hippies
 DmDm               G+G    G7G7
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree

   C majorC        Bb majorBb         C majorC
So thank your lucky stars you've got protection
          Bb majorBb       C majorC
Walk the line, and never mind the cost
              Bb majorBb      C majorC
And don't wonder who them lawmen was protecting
           Bb majorBb       C majorC
When they nailed the savior to the cross.

      FF       C majorC       FF
'Cause the law is for protection of the people
           C majorC      FF
Rules are rules and any fool can see
         Eb MajorEb        FF
We don't need no riddle speaking prophets
 DmDm               G+G    G7G7
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree
