CRIME WILL NEVER PAY

CRIME WILL NEVER PAY, FOLKS
CRIME WILL NEVER PAY
FOR IT'S BEEN PROVEN TIME AGAIN
THAT CRIME WILL NEVER PAY

THE ROAD AGENTS ARE ROUGH AND RAW
THERE'S SOME IN YOUR HOME TOWN
THEY OPERATE WITHIN THE LAW
IT'S TOUGH TO PIN 'EM DOWN

THE SHERIFF AND I ARE STANDIN' BY
WITH GOOD FOLKS IN THE LAND
TO TAKE THEIR LOOT AND PROSECUTE
AND MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND

CRIME WILL NEVER PAY, FOLKS
CRIME WILL NEVER PAY
FOR IT'S BEEN PROVEN TIME AGAIN
THAT CRIME WILL NEVER PAY

THE POLITICIANS DO THEIR BEST
WELL, SOME FOLKS SAY THEY TRY
FOR WHEN YOU PUT THEM TO THE TEST
THERE'S OINTMENT 'ROUND THE FLY

DON'T UNDERRATE THE FOLKS BACK HOME
THEY'RE READIN' PAPERS TOO
FOR WHEN THEY VOTE, THEY VOTE ALONE
THAT'S WHY I'M A-TELLIN' YOU

CRIME WILL NEVER PAY, FOLKS
CRIME WILL NEVER PAY
FOR IT'S BEEN PROVEN TIME AGAIN
THAT CRIME WILL NEVER PAY
